Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. But, Kristin Leary didn't seem to think her picture was worth anything , except for a testimonial. "My husband and I were lying by the pool one day, and were snapping some pictures. I couldn't believe what I saw... was that really what I looked like in a bikini? When did this happen? Instantly, I was so mad at myself, and vowed to do something about it."
"I had noticed that after hitting 30, it was becoming more difficult to lose weight; or should I say, it was becoming easier to gain it, because I obviously had." Kristin had always been the one without a weight problem, but not because she came by it naturally - she had always worked very hard at maintaining her figure. "Some people can just eat whatever they want, or be the same weight regardless of if they work out or not. That has never been me. I work out 3-5 days a week, and maintain a healthy diet. I have done this for years, and thought I had mastered it pretty well. Over the years, if I got off my routine even slightly, or took a break, I would know it and see it. It's a harsh reality, but I was glad that I was able to figure out how I could maintain."
As Kristin moved further into her 30s, however, she found it more difficult to maintain, let alone lose. Women's bodies undergo vast changes during this time, and weight management is one of the largest challenges faced. Despite how your metabolism is in your 20s, it can change dramatically in very little time. "I started seeing more cellulite, and I hadn't reduced any of my physical activity. My diet was good, so it was just so frustrating. Seeing my bikini picture infuriated me."
Kristin realized that like her body, maybe she needed to change a little, too. "Obviously what had worked for so long was failing me now." I started taking Thermocerin after searching for solutions online. With a guarantee, I figured I had nothing to risk. I continued my workouts, and was more conscious of what I was eating. I started feeling better; in general I was less hungry, and more energized. So, I decided to switch up my routine. I started doing different exercises, and varied the days and times that I did them. Before, I was rigid about going to the gym, but I was never a morning workout person. Now I had the energy to swap out my exercise schedule, and include some exercise before work. I also started taking Pilates because I heard that these exercises can help with cellulite."
In addition to varying her exercise routine, Kristin also did some research on her diet. While her calorie and fat intake were fine, and she consumed a well balanced diet, she saw many references to eating habits/methods. A good amount of what she read indicated that eating more frequently can actually be better for you and your metabolism. "I started eating smaller meals more often, and was actually eating more healthy snacks than before. In effect, I increased my calorie intake slightly, but I was keeping my metabolism on its toes instead of its regular routine."
Kristin’s approach at 'fooling' her body worked, and she lost 40 pounds in 4 1/2 months. She still takes Thermocerin on a daily basis.
Here are some of Kristin’s suggestions for anyone discouraged by unsuccessful weight loss attempts:
Talk to your doctor: It could be that a hormone imbalance, thyroid problem, or other health concern is responsible for your body not losing weight. Given your age, overall health, and medical history, they may be able to shed more light on this problem for you.
Change it up: Like Kristin, your body can get used to a routine. Jump start your metabolism with some small changes such as varying the type, duration, frequency, or intensity of your physical activity. While keeping in mind a well balanced, common-sense diet, making changes here can also be beneficial to weight loss. Adding herbal supplements, or weight loss formulas such as Thermocerin can also be the extra push your body needs.
Don't give up: "Stay focused. Set goals, and know that things can take time. Talk to friends, coworkers, or family about what they have done to lose weight. Most importantly, keep a photo that you hate, and use that for motivation. My bikini picture is STILL on the fridge."
