Over the past couple of years I have started to shed some unnecessary pounds. I honestly haven't had any major gains or anything and have been about the same since my early 20s, but I realized although I love me I'd love me even better a few sizes smaller fitting into the cutest clothes lol. Last year total I lost about 18 lbs and I think that was a mix of going to the gym and eating new things that were just better. I'm not that person that can sit down and eat a bag of chips or a tub of ice cream but I am the lazy lady that will pick up fast food way too often because it is the easy thing to do. At the beginning of the year I joined Weight Watchers to get me going. So far this year I have lost 8 lbs which I am happy about but it's not nearly where I want to be. I am ready to start shedding a lot more weight.
I plan to really get back into the game and start going back to the game and totally taking fast food 100% out of my life. Also....drum roll....POP. No more pop and I need to cut down on beer. Honestly the hardest part isn't that I crave these things it is that they are EASY and I hate cooking. I told my roommate tonight that its time to step up and we need to cook together and it'll help me shed some lbs and save some money!!
What I need....EASY and AFFORDABLE recipes that don't take a lot of time but that taste good!! If you have any please share. If you've been here and succeeded share your secrets and tips.

Since 2008 - now, I have lost over 75lbs and was well over 200lbs. I think my biggest size was 14-16 and now I'm a size 4, all by changing my diet in small steps. It took awhile because I never had time for the gym, but I'm finally adding more exercise in my life, instead of walking a few times a day. I started with cutting out soda and incorporating more vegetables and real foods in my life. Last August, I couldn't lose that last mid section and decided to try the Paleo diet. I went from a size 8-10 to a 4 in 1.5 months. Without exercise, but strictly changing my diet, increasing my calorie intake from 1000-1200 to 2000. I now eat, breathe, and live this lifestyle. It's not my diet, but what I habitually eat. It helps with my energy level, my sinuses, and just overall quality of life. If you want to know more or ask any question, I'm on twitter. @cassiemcarter
Hi, I am the guy under the twitter handle @gudkopy. You should try <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/04/06/how-to-lose-20-lbs-of-fat-in-30-days-without-doing-any-exercise/>the slow carb from Tim Ferriss blog</a> if you are still trying to lose weight. I have used the diet to lose weight, and if you follow it exactly as described, you WILL lose weight. It is very practical and easy to comply. I really like your authentic writing voice. I feel like an ancient man at 37 years old when you talk about being old at 29 years old, but I guess that's OK. LOL. Take care and keep you the good writing and the authenticity.
