Losing Weight in 2007
By Amy Wood
Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Losing weight. In the age of obestity, far too many of us need to be doing it. And it’s hard. Very hard.
The FDA just warned folks not to look for answers in a pill. The way to lose and keep it off, the experts say, is the old fashioned way. My personal trainer Gary Painter always reminds me to do three things… change what you’re eating, how much you’re eating and exercise.
The South Carolina Shrinkdown started January 8th. Click the link to learn more about how this free program works. In South Carolina last year, people lost a combined 75 thousand pounds!!
None of it is easy, but for those who haven’t exercised that’s the part that can be the most intimidating. And it’s the most important. You’ve got to burn calories to burn that fat.
I’ve been working on it for a year. And in the last few months I haven’t done as well. But the nice thing about trying to lose weight is each day gives you a fresh start. It’s up to you.
Join the conversation and tell us how you lose weight. Share some of your favorite weightloss websites.
And check out some cool websites that our partners at the Spartanburg Herald Journal published in the paper.
There’s www.caloriesperhour.com, www.iateapie.net, diet.ivillage.com.
Also my personal favorite dieters website. Hungry Girl! You can sign up for a newsletter, which is a helpful reminder each day that you are on that diet!
All the best to you with your weight loss goals. You can use this forum as another source of support if you would like.
Keep us posted on how you’re doing!

I’m doing the Spartanburg Shrinkdown and I think it’s very important for a lot of people to be involved. Even if you’re not necessarily looking to lose weight, it’s always good to try to find ways to live a healthier lifestyle. Kudos to Amy Wood for looking great as she’s losing weight!
Thanks for the encouragement Jami! I hope this will be a place where our CW friends can exchange ideas and support each other. It makes a big difference when folks are rooting for you!
I’ve been working on this since October and doing quite well. My secret?

It is tailored to your circumstances and preferences. They have video demos of dozens and dozens of exercises along with hundreds of articles to educate you about eating, exercising, and living a truly healthy life. There are also many hundreds of support teams you can join according to your hobbies, interests, health issues, exercise styles, etc, etc.
This really works but it takes some commitment. Another plus is that it’s totally free.
Carolyn,
Thanks for the info on this website. We love free!

I just had my second little boy a little over a month ago and my doctor suggested the South Beach Diet. Does it really work?
