How To Lose Lose Weight FAST

When I first started exercising again after I gave birth to my son, my biggest concern was losing the weight I had acquired during my pregnancy. Apparently bean burritos and double cheeseburgers are not the best way to maintain a healthy weight............who knew.

"But sticking to diets is HARD!" This is a comment that we have all either heard or groaned ourselves at one time or another. It seems we aren't as active as we once were, what with the busy lives we all lead and satellite t.v. bringing a million channels to our fingertips.

I wanted to lose weight and I wanted to do it quickly. I couldn't take any supplements because I hadn't completely weaned my son off the breast-milk and plus, the supplements I had tried in the past gave me the jitters. So, after doing some research I found a diet program that I felt like I could stick to.

Don't be put off by the word "idiot" because if you are not working on becoming healthy....well....you get the picture.

Did you know that with the right diet you can lose up to 9 pounds every 11 days without starving yourself? In my experience with this diet, my weight loss ranged from 7-8 pounds every 11 days. Not quite the 9 pound mark but everyone is different and some lose easier than others.....plus...I really like those cheeseburgers.

I couldn't believe how quickly I lost the weight. I never had to starve myself., which I don't have the willpower to do anyway. With "Fat Loss 4 Idiots" I was eating 4 times a day and the meal plan was already figured out for me. Actually, that is a pretty cool feature. They have an online meal generator. You choose about 30 different foods that you enjoy and a customized 11 day meal plan is created just for you! I really thought that was great.

It isn't a cookie-cutter diet, which I don't understand those anyway. I mean, everyone is different and we all like different foods. So to have the diet custom-made just for me was awesome. What is even better is that I didn't have to count calories ,figure out my own meals nor did I get bored eating the same foods every day as this meal plan constantly changes to keep you interested. That little feature was PERFECT for me since I LOVE food and being stuck eating the same thing day in and day out, while my kids are eating all the foods I love, was driving me crazy. I can not stick to a diet because I just love food...all types of food.

So what does the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Program do?

It is a program of shifting calories. This program shows you a system of eating which is so different that you can change your body in literally 11 days. Sound far-fetched? I thought so too until I tried it myself. I couldn't believe the results.

This program teaches you that food is not the enemy. The types of food you choose to eat can either turn on or turn off Fat Burning. You are given different types of calories each day which confuses your metabolism and Forces Faster Fat Loss to happen.

Are you scratching your head???

I was too when I first started reading. But then after I got into the program it all started making sense and the first 11 days I lost 8 pounds. I took a 2 day hiatus from the program, per their recommendation, and then I plugged my desired foods into the online diet generator and tried it again. I lost 7 pounds that time. You can continue with the product too until you reach your weight goals. I have never come across anything easier and believe me I looked. I have tried the Slim Fast shakes (boring) and the MediFast Meal Plan. I spent almost $300 on Medifast but got SOOO sick of the powdered meals I couldn't keep it up.

What Were My End Results?

In the end, with the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program I lost a total of 55 lbs and 14% body fat! I couldn't have been happier.

Don't waste any more time or money on expensive diet plans that don't work for you. Download the program and you can start your diet immediately. It is that simple.

Finally, you can start a diet that actually burns the fat without eating away your muscle, keeps you full and happy and you see the results quickly.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots also offers a 60 day Money Back Guarantee so you really have nothing to lose except the excess weight.

Sole Elliptical - A Personal Experience Review

Working full-time while also caring for 4 children can be exhausting. For me, I am either sitting at the computer or chasing after my children. It is a fast paced lifestyle and one that does not lend itself to quality “me” time. I often struggle to keep my eyes open during the day and eating healthy, while important, has become a foreign concept. Until, that is, I made an important investment in my health and wellbeing. What did I do? I actually bought a Sole E55 Elliptical Machine.

I really wasn’t all that familiar with Elliptical machines. I knew all about treadmills. I have used treadmills in the past and remembered that I didn’t enjoy them at all. They were loud, cumbersome and I didn’t like the feeling of my feet slapping against the moving tread. It jarred my knees and, to be honest, I also had a bit of trouble keeping my balance while running.

I am one of those people that absolutely hate working out. I enjoy the feeling I get after I work out but getting motivated to work out is difficult. I need to distract myself while I work out. After I had my 4th baby I felt a need to get back into shape. I tried aerobic videos but didn’t enjoy them. I joined a gym but never had the time to get there. My husband suggested purchasing an Elliptical machine. We began to research which Elliptical machine would give us the most bang for our buck.

The Elliptical Machine we finally decided upon was the Sole E55 Elliptical Machine.
It was delivered to our home a few days after we purchased it and I was so pleased.

I enjoy so many things about this machine but one of the biggest factors is it is so quiet. I have it set up in my office so that I am able to put my 20 minutes in and watch my favorite show at the same time. I don’t have to have the television volume turned to a deafening level just to be able to hear over the sound of the elliptical. Unlike a treadmill, the Elliptical machine is whisper quiet.

One of the other things I enjoy about it is that the foot pads you step on move with you. So as my foot raises up to take a step, the footpad raises up with me. There is no slapping your feet on a moving tread. There is no jarring of your knees. It is a fluid motion and since the arm bars move along with you while you are in the running/jogging motion, you are able to keep your balance and feel like you are getting a total body workout.

To change the set of muscles you are working out, you can switch from forward motion to backward motion as easily as if you were not on a machine at all and if you need to give your arms a rest during the workout there are stationary arm bars you can utilize as well. The stationary handle bars are equipped with built-in pulse sensors so you can keep track of your heart rate during your workout. It also comes with a heart rate chest strap so you don’t have to bother with switching from the moving arm bars to the stationary handle bars if you don’t want to.

My husband and I both use Sole Elliptical. He is a fire fighter so it is important for him to keep in great cardio shape. He is in a lot better shape than I am and so his workout settings are quite different from mine. The Sole Elliptical, however, has the option to save two different user settings so instead of having to set up your workout every time you step on the machine, with the Sole Elliptical all you have to do is press User1 or User2 and your settings are pulled up automatically.

After using the Sole E55 Elliptical I found that I have more energy and more patience than before I started working out. My stress level has decreased and my self-esteem has increased. Giving birth is a wonderful experience, however, afterward you no longer have the fact that there is another person living inside as an excuse for your large belly. I am finally starting to feel a little less “blimp-like” and a little more like the woman my husband married. I am no longer embarrassed to wear shorts and that ugly arm flab is finally disappearing.

For me, working out 20 minutes a day 3x a week is no longer inconvenient or a scheduling nightmare. I am able to work out in the comfort of my own home and at my own pace.


When it comes to an Elliptical, Sole is the way to go. After using a Sole Elliptical I will never go back to using a treadmill again.
