That is the question I have had all day. What is going to be my plan this go around? It needs to be something that will stick for life, or there will be no life. I had it set in my mind that I was going to do the drops again, but I want to exercise, so that went out the door fast. Then it was brought to my attention that a low calorie plan would be a good idea. That had gears moving in my brain. Yeah I could do that a low calorie meal plan with exercise. I mean why not?! It was a low calorie deal with the drops, so it is something that I am some what similar with.
So I got some info from my Aussie family. Two of them have done the Michelle Bridges 12wbt, I will share a link to it at the bottom of this post. And I had been thinking about this plan for a while, well since hearing about it last summer from my Aussie family, but then saw it is $19.99 a week.
I know what you are saying, JESSICA THIS IS YOUR LIFE, PAY THE FREAKING $19.99 A MONTH! Yeah well, no. If it was $19.99 a month, then yeah I could give something up to pay for that but it's weekly, and I can't afford that at this time in my life. So I got the run down as to what Michelle Bridges plan was, which is, 1200 calories a day, eating whole fresh foods, with exercise six days a week burning 500 calories each work out.
At first I didn't know how 1200 calories a day with burning 500 of that off would be safe. But then I look at my lovely Aussie family, and see how hard they have worked, and how much weight they have lost, and just tell myself to shut up and do it!
Follow Through
1 : to continue a stroke or motion to the end of its arc
2: to press on in an activity or process especially to a conclusion
So the plan you ask? It is going to be 1200 calories a day, exercise six times a day burning the 500 calories. Do I think it's going to work? It freaking better! It can only work if I follow through with it, and that is what I have to do.

hey jess you know you dont have to join the site you know the secret is 1200 cals a day and burn your 500 cals a day. period thats it that is the plan. sure the site is nice has weigh in stuff and motivational stuff and places to put your measurements and track those things but when it comes down to it.... it is simple 1200 calories a day and burn 500 a day. you will do this. one day at a time. and a bad DAY does not = failure. it mean when you wake up you get another opportunity to get back on track. I love you Jess and I know you will do this. it is not easy and to be quite honest. it sucks. it sucks limiting yourself anytime we want to do something. Food is always going to be on my mind, and bad food is constantly there. it is a choice. I have not had that stuffed feeling for a long time and sunday Karen made a baked dinner pork roast and all the goodies and i pigged out i ate till i was absolutely stuffed. i felt so horrible. it has been so long since i have had that feeling. but i ised to live with that feeling all the time. now i love with a feeling of satisfaction. two very different feelings. i hope this is motivating. I am not trying to preach and lord knows i have so far to go, but even just typing to you help motivate myself so hang in there and you have a new lifestyle to look forward to and you will do this one meal at a time. one day at a time. relax and conquer your life.

Thank you. Any support helps really. ONE DAY AT A TIME! WOO! LETS DO THIS!
Delete1200 calories a day is much easier with a food journal. Myfitnesspal is a helluvahelp to me. Also, On days when I just feel the need to give into an immediate craving, I add it to my 'snacks' on my fitness pal, to see how offset my calories will be, how much else I will be able to eat that day/ or not... To decide. If I go through with it, and know I have a break coming up at work, I'll pre-log that into my fitness pal cardio exercises, and put 'walking 15 min' at a pace and see how many calories that will offset, which motivates me to definitely walk on my break...
