The doctors said that it was the medication that caused a hormonal dysfunction. All this makes it extremely harder to lose weight than the average person. But I believe that if we keep our minds in place we're able to overcome all these obstacles. The point that you made about nobody having a choice is so very true. It's just a matter of ackowledging and putting to practice the truith before things get worse. Thanks so much for your comment. <strong>Hi Lori,</strong> I'm sure you can achieve all your goals. Praying for your recovery sis. Love always, Eren Hi Rhonda,

I believe focusing on eating healthier has helped me tremendously. (I've had thyroid problems, which slows metabolism) When you want to feel better, look better, have more energy...you have to focus on good health...and by eating healthier the weight tends to naturally come off. Sadly, most people don't really think much about health until something comes into their life with health issues. Surprisingly, when you feel you DON'T have a choice (you have eat healthier to fix the issues)...you tend to stick with it! I tell myself, I don't have a choice! I have to get up in the morning and exercise...I have to eat healthy so that I don't pay the price when I'm older. In reality nobody has a choice...because if you eat a lot of junk food and carry a lot of weight there will be a price to pay later down the road. Such a cute blog here!

I hope it helps your fiancee and her daughters. I know that for people who love to eat food (like me) the weight loss and maintenance is a huge battle. I believe that we need to take into consideration the mind and the spirit as well as the body in order to achieve our weight loss goals. We need to spend time to keep our mind and spirit on track. Blessings to you, Eren Hi Keith,

Yes, that internal battle is the one we fight every single day, whether our solution is weight loss, self confidence or quitting smoking. We have to keep dangling our goal to keep our "bad selves" from winning. I have never had a problem with my weight, but is is a constant struggle with my fiancee and her daughters. I will pass this inspiration and wisdom in her direction. I especially like the spiritual emphasis. That is the basis of all strength. Hi Eren,

It's all about maintaining motivation very high. When I feel derailed I know it's essential to talk things out until I'm in the right emotional state. So many people focus on irrelevant details when their emotions and mindset aren't in the right place. If the emotional aspect isn't "right on" everything else simply won't work out. Thanks so much for stopping by. Blessings, Eren Mckay Hi there Discovery Woman :-D

I write on weight loss motivation (based on my life experience and from meeting people and working with them) in my blog. Yes, once you made a psychological decision to lose weight, there's no way back. You shall lose it and keep it off. I do admire you. Keep those pounds off and live a happy active life. PS: Let me know if you need any support. Would love to share with you. Dear Erin,

If we can all help encourage each other to keep up the great work I'm sure we will go far. When we are kids and teenagers it's so much easier to lose weight because our metabolism being faster but as adults we face certain challenges. It's all a matter of keeping that motivation high and redirecting our thoughts. God bless ;-) Eren Mckay Hi Traci,

I love eating and watching T.V. and the thing that has helped me a lot is to munch on carrots or celery. That way I quench that desire and at the same time don't add on too many calories. The point of weights is excellent. I have a very slow metabolism and the doctor told me that lifting weights helps accelerate that.

It's as if I need to have something to keep me company while watching TV. I have found that the best results for losing weight is when a stick to an exercise regime, something that my sister and I have decided to tackle last week. We're starting weights as I've always found that putting on muscle mass helps your metabolism. Having someone sharing the road to weight loss is also a great idea.

It is easy to start a routine to lose weight as usually people will see some immediate results. But as the routine goes along, some will find that the results don't come always even when they are still doing the same things to lose weight. It may even get slightly worse for some. This is the time they will start to question themselves if everything they have done so far was worthed it or wasted. Their minds will start to lose faith. It will certainly make sense to know the 'why' of it all. For me, the motivation has always been for good health. I can only take care of others when I am in good health myself.

Some people don't realize that internal strength is the the most important thing to concentrate on when wanting to lose weight. You may be strong on Friday and then something happened in your life that got your motivation down. It's essential when this happens to separate a time when you stop and redirect your thoughts towards your weight loss goals and remember WHY you are on this road. That will give you the strength. <BR> Angie- I'm so glad you stopped by. Yeah congratulations on your 30 days of Shred! You've got a lot of energy girl =) All the best, Eren Hi Natural,

I have got to give up dessert or I'm going to get myself in trouble. I do keep a journal for my workouts and weigh in/measurements right now and I'm going to start keeping a food journal again because that helped me in the past only this time I won't be as specific. I'll write the foods and amounts I eat but not count everything else. Your cousin looks awesome! And BIG CONGRATS to you for losing 44 lbs. Amazing! Eren,
