Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #11 {Cinchspiration}
I don’t have any weight loss pictures this week. See what had happened was… Um, I simply didn’t take any. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not happy with my progress so far. I thought this far into the Cinch Inch Weight Loss Program that I would have lost a decent amount of weight. Instead, I seem to keep losing the same 3 lbs over and over again. Not fun. In fact, it’s quite frustrating. I see the pictures of my other Team #Cinchspiration friends and I gasp at the changes that I see in them… Thinner faces, smaller waist lines, lower numbers on the scale, etc. Then I look at myself…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #8 {#Cinchspiration}
So, ummmmm, no scale picture today. But I will provide an update anyway. I’ve gained 1.4 lbs since last week but I’m not sweating it. Why, you may ask? Because I’ve lost 2 inches off my waist! Yes, 2 whole inches. I am beyond thrilled. Last week I bought a pair of jeans that were a little snug so that I wouldn’t have to wear a belt (a fashion thing, I hate wearing belts especially when they leave that lumpy buckle under my tees)… Anyway, I now need a belt to keep my pants up. It ain’t sexy when you have to do the pull up your pants wiggle every…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #7 {#Cinchspiration}
I have not exercised at all. Last week, our church was crazy busy and I was just making it home from work with enough time to shower, make dinner for the family and get out of the house, so that left little time for anything else. Confession: On days when I haven’t had time to cook, I’ve eaten fast food. This week will also be pretty busy, so I’m going to have to set my alarm a little earlier and get up to do something. Groan I am not a morning person, but I know if I want to see something happen I have to start doing things a bit…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #6 {#Cinchspiration}
So it seems I’ve reached the dreaded plateau. My weight seems to have gotten stuck between 156 lbs and 158 lbs. I guess I should be happy that I’m not gaining, but I thought for sure I would’ve broken that 155 lb barrier by now.I’m more than a bit disappointed to say the least. I think I’m going to have to look at my calorie intake and see if I need to add more calories. I’m currently holding steady between 1200 and 13oo calories and I know that too little calories can cause your body to retain weight instead of losing it. I may need to bump it up by…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #5 {#Cinchspiration}
Wow! I cannot believe it’s been a month already! Gosh, the time has just flown by so quickly. That means that it’s time for me to do the whole full picture and measurement thing. Big heavy sigh. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s just that it’s still a little unnerving to put everything out there for everyone to see. So, there I am, in all of my glory. I don’t think the difference is as visible as it is tangible. I seriously feel lighter. My jeans don’t feel as snug around the waist (in fact, I’ve had to start wearing a belt). I would like to see more definition in…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #3 {#Cinchspiration}
Last week was a total fail. I was on vacation with my family and wasn’t as aware of my eating habits as I should have been. I didn’t realize how important it is for me to stick to a regular eating schedule. I had my normal shake in the morning but I usually didn’t get a chance to eat my meal bar until after 2 PM, which meant that I was starving and literally on the prowl for more food. I also wasn’t taking the 3~in~1 Cinch Boost as regularly as I should have. You’re supposed to take them 3 times a day, and I was barely managing 1 a…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #1 {#Cinchspiration}
Y’all know I must truly believe in this product if I’m posting full~length, non~sucked~in pictures with weight and measurements on this blog for everyone to see. This is a big step for me, so I’m begging you to be kind. It’s a little hard to see myself looking like this. I want this to change. I need this to change. It will change. Today I begin the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan with 49 other ladies. I’m nervous and excited, but more than either of those, I’m ready to do this. The Cinch Inch Loss Plan offers healthy ways to lose weight through meal replacement bars, shakes, natural supplements along with a…

I’m a #Cinchspiration Blogger!
I’ve never hidden the fact that I struggle with my weight but it’s not something that I broadcast on a regular basis either. In fact, the last time I talked about my weight I received a not~so~nice email in reply, so I kinda tucked my tail and decided not to discuss it again. I kept working out and eating properly but I didn’t share as much as I had previously. In many ways, this silence felt like a betrayal to the people that I was helping and encouraging with their own weight loss struggle. How could I help them while remaining silent about my own battles? Then I saw a…
