Weight Loss 101
Before beginning my weight loss journey, I was completely clueless as how to go about losing weight in a healthy way. A lifelong dieter, I was only used to jumping on fad, trend, or crash diets only to have any pounds I was actually able to lose come back and bite me in the butt later! I decided to chronicle the steps I’ve taken to go lose 60 pounds off of my original weight of 246 so that anyone else out there who is looking to change their life might have an easier time of figuring out where to start.

I am so happy I found your blog! Truly inspiring. And..I just LOVED when I read that you are “Whasian!”
Love it!
My husband is biracial (Japanese and Black) and I am white, so we call our children Caublasian!
Halfies of the world unite!
Haha!!! Love it!
My mom is white, and my dad is black… so my and my sisters called ourselves WHACK for the longest time….
and yes, doing it in ALL CAPS was required.
Thank you for a very informative blog. Where else may I get that kind of information written in such a perfect way? I’ve a undertaking that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such information.
One thing I would like to touch upon is that weightloss system fast can be performed by the proper diet and exercise. Someone\’s size not just affects appearance, but also the actual quality of life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, in addition to physical abilities are affected in extra weight. It is possible to just make everything right and at the same time having a gain. In such a circumstance, a medical problem may be the perpetrator. While excessive food instead of enough exercising are usually responsible, common medical conditions and traditionally used prescriptions can easily greatly enhance size. I am grateful for your post right here.
Hello !!

Hi Gretchen,
I came across your story in Calorie Count and was inspired. I love your sense of humour and was very touched by your story of how you perceived yourself earlier. Thank you.
I’ve lost 24 lbs in about 5 months but now seem to be losing my resolve. Begun eating a lot of junk
and I’m scared! How do I stop? I need to lose another 40 lbs and need motivation and tips on how I should change my schedule. I keep to about 1800 calories and workout (cardio with a bit of strength) for at least 45 minutes every day.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Brinda.
Thank you so much Brinda! I completely understand that backsliding feeling you’re talking about. It sounds like what you’re doing is really good, but I know it’s hard not to slip back into old habits. I don’t know if I have any specific advice, other than maybe to try mixing up what you’re eating? Try new recipes for healthy things and all that? I know that when I start eating junk it’s because I’m bored with “healthy” eating. I have to remind myself that eating healthy doesn’t mean eating the same thing all the time (which is what I tend to do, haha.)
Just remember that this weight loss is a long, slow process too. So just because you may have hit a bit of a plateau it doesn’t mean that you’re not doing the right stuff! Feel free to email me (gretchen@honeyishrunkthegretchen.com) if you want to talk some more. And chin up. You got this.
