One thing I love about summer is the abundance of fresh fruits and veggies. Another thing I love is that without the bitter cold of winter, summer is a great time to exercise outdoors and get plenty of sunshine. With these two factors in mind, it seems that this time of year makes it easier to lose weight although some people still use diet pills to aid them.

Of course, summer is a time when people eat a lot more ice cream, so that popular dessert or treat needs to be eaten in moderation which is easier said than done for some people. Even with ice cream taken into consideration, summer is usually a time when it’s easier for people to lose weight.

So many women have to deal with the problem of Weight loss. It seems like once we reach the age of twenty then our metabolism changes. Add to that having babies and dealing with the added weight gain of each pregnancy, it’s an ongoing problem for the majority of our lives.

In the past, whenever I would gain five pounds or so during the holiday season which started with Thanksgiving and ended with the New Year, I could usually manage to get the weight off by eating healthier and going for walks several times a week. However, when I turned fifty, that didn’t work at all. In fact, I gained ten pounds during the holiday season and couldn’t lose the weight afterwards. Even six months later I still hadn’t lost the weight. When I visited my doctor during the summer for something else, she had me take a special hormone test and then put me on a natural compounded hormone after she received the results of the test. After just a couple of months on the hormone, I lost ten pounds without really trying to lose weight. Simply eating healthy and light exercising worked once again.

Many women nowadays choose hormone replacement therapy to help with a lot of problems caused by hormone imbalance.  This imbalance affects weight loss, fibromyalgia, headaches, anxiety, depression, and other health issues, probably more than we realize.  I think especially when many women reach their 30′s, they can start having problems with their monthly cycle due to hormone imbalances.  I can look back now and realize that some of the problems I had in my late 30′s were caused by this imbalance.

Note: I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for Chattanooga weight loss and Chattanooga hormone replacement therapy,  and I was compensated monetarily. However, the views and opinions are my own.

I’m still trying to lose a few extra pounds, and they’re free for the taking if anyone would like them!  I do have a plan for the next month before school starts which includes walking and exercising more plus cutting out snacking so much.  That’s been my downfall! I don’t need fat burners but do need to watch what I eat.  I usually lose several pounds at the beginning of school because it’s such an extremely busy time, so if that happens then I’ll be right where I want to be weight-wise!

Do you “stress eat?”  I have been the past month, and now my pants are too tight in the waist.  I am determined to lose the weight, though, through healthier eating and light exercise.  I don’t need any diet pills or nuphedragen since I’ve only gained a few pounds.  School is nearly out for the summer, my stress level should drop significantly, and it should be easy to stick to an exercise routine and a healthy diet of fresh fruits & veggies!

My husband and I take vitamins and supplements every day, not best weight loss supplements, but supplements such as minerals and herbs.  It really makes a difference in the way we feel and the way we function.  When I run out of certain supplements and don’t have them for a week or so, it really does make a difference.   I try to order ahead of time so that doesn’t happen!

The holidays are always a time when I gain weight, usually five pounds. I thought I was doing better this year, but the holiday delicacies were too tempting and I ate my fair share of them, thus gaining five pounds. There were too many delicious dishes and desserts! I don’t need an adderall weight loss program or anything like that. I just need to cut back on what I eat, eat healthy, and go for a walk one more time per week. That should do the trick!

The holidays are a time when I usually gain at least five pounds.  I think I’m doing OK so far and haven’t gained but maybe a pound, so there’s no need for Lipofuze or anything like that.  One thing that has helped has been the fact that I’ve done very little baking of sweets.   I’ve baked cookies once, and I realized it’s a good idea I don’t bake cookies much.  Fresh baked cookies right out of the oven are too hard to resist!  If I baked cookies every week, I would definitely gain at least five pounds.
