Self Proclaimed Diet Expert & Yo Yo Queen

Hello. My name is Sarah, and I'm a yo yo dieter. Well, I was a yo yo dieter, until I decided that wasn't healthy and just stayed fat for awhile. (With some small up and down changes while I "stayed" the same...which sums up  to I was still a yo yo-er.)

My goal is to lose 105 Pounds total, and I have about 93 pounds left to go. I've realized that I've tried almost every popular diet around...but amazingly there are still more left to try. As I head down to my goal weight I am going to try different six week programs and report to the cyber-world what is working and what isn't working.

You may be wondering what I've tried already. (I'll comment on the diets I've tried as well.) Here is the lovely list of what programs I've been on to give myself the title Diet Expert & Yo Yo Queen.

1. Weight Watchers
2. Jenny Craig
3. Nutrisystem
4. Medifast
5. The New Lifestyle Diet
6. The Cabbage Soup Diet
7. The South Beach Diet
8. The Abs Diet
9. Body By Vi
10. Advocare
11. LA Weight Loss
12. Anti-Candida Diet
13. Detox Diet
14. Slim Fast Diet
15. 3 Day Diet

I've also tried various weight loss supplements, spent more money in gym memberships than I EVER used, and have tried my own eating plans. 

Here is my quick disclaimer...even though this is all about different diets. I don't have a diet mentality. This time I'm approaching it as lifestyle changes and that is what I want to focus on in this blog. Even though I'm trying different diets and reviewing them, my plan is to bring something from all of these that will become a healthy habit. That way when I get down to my goal weight, I can stay at my goal weight!

At work, I have an exciting contest coming up tomorrow. We are starting a Game On & Bod Pod Challenge. Tomorrow afternoon I will go into the Bod Pod and have my fat percentage measured (yikes!!) Tomorrow I'm also trying to lose my bad habit of using "filler" in talking and writing. That means...no more cussing, no more emoticons, and no more lol's. That seems SO much harder to face than losing more weight. I may also try the metabolic testing. I will write about all of that tomorrow. I also am in my second cycle of the 6 week Shred Revolutionary Diet. I will be writing about that (and showing some pictures of results so far.) I'll also be writing my goals, tips, victories, and battles.

I have a lot to write about and I hope you'll join me in this journey!
