In reply to Jasmine.

I set my cell alarm to Gym time, I go either before or after it goes off period, what MOTIVATES me is a pic I took at my biggest. The funny thing is I didn’t know I was that BIG, when I saw this pic I was devastated, gurl i was like who is that! That is what keeps me going, even on a bad day. When I’m at the gym I go HARD AS I CAN GO, I don’t feel like I’ve had a good workout until the sweat is pouring off me, than I feel my stomach to see if it’s cold, if ur stomach is cold that means ur body is in fat burning mode. After, a bad day, I make a promise to myself that tomorrow will be a better day, and I put up a sign your not hungry ur just bored right next to that fat pic, funny thang is even back then couldn’t nobody tell me NOTHING gurl, I knew I was FINE, my goal now is to just be healthy and a comfortable size for my 5’5 height,lol. As far as snacks go I eat alot of fruit or low calorie (50-120) fiber snacks, like skinny cow, nature valley, or yoplait. I read EVEVRYTHING, and I write down everything I eat. I hope this helps sis. You can find me on YT Mslovejoneslsj. You can do it, sometimes I don’t feel like going but I push myself, I have a goal to meet. This is Operation get FINER,Lol. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Kesha,sis, God bless you. Thank you for sharing your journey and especially in video form. I usually check this page every so often and congratulate the other sisters on here, all the while sporadically going to the gym (3 weeks on, 2 weeks off whether it be a holiday that gets me off track or getting ready to be in an art show, or most recently the cold weather here in Philly). It’s always something.I’m only 20lbs over my usual weight, but, it’s taking me longer than it should to drop the weight because I’m not consistent. You, your video, told me what my problem is : JUST DO IT. When I’m in my “gym mode”,I go five days a week, eating clean, drinking water like its going out of style, live and sleep in my gym clothing, track my meals, weight lift–evrything is good and the pounds shed…but I always end up getting off track (for whatever reason) and the cycle starts alllll over again…My question to you is this : how do you push your self after (and if) you had a “bad” snack/meal, missed a gym/track session—what do you do to push yourself so that you won’t “relapse”? One more question- in terms of your meals, how often do you eat? I tried the 6 times a day while in gym mode which wasn’t bad, kept me from over eating, but I just wanted to know what works for you?

Again thank you so much for sharing your journey. God bless.
