Do you want to lose 10, 30, 50 or more pounds? Have you recently reached your weight loss goal but want to maintain it? Are you willing to dedicate yourself to a healthy lifestyle? Then this blog is for you!
I have lost 118 pounds and have maintained the weight loss for two years. One of the things I have learned during the weight loss process is that it is much easier to reach and maintain your goal weight if you surround yourself with like-minded individuals to support you in the process (whether they be in person or online).
I also have learned that learning as much as possible about healthy living gives you the knowledge and expertise needed to lose weight the “right” way. So this blog includes regular posts, a book list, website list, TV list, video list and book and website of the month. In addition, there is a recipe of the month and product review section. Visitors to Weight Loss Aficionado can just enjoy the site for informational purposes or can comment on posts, ask questions, share resources, their triumphs and pitfalls during the weight loss process.
Aw, this little cutie is so adorable
-- until she denies you pizza and cheese fries. Autom,
the 15-inch talking droid we first caught a glimpse of last year, is back and
available for pre-order. Using the LCD touch screen, hungry dieters are
prompted to enter daily calorie consumption and exercise habits -- to which the
robot will respond kindly to keep you motivated. With face-tracking
capabilities and a killingly sweet death stare, Autom is always watching, which
might just make you feel guilty enough to skip the dip. The lady bot costs $195
for the deposit and $670 for the device through company's website. Slated to
ship in 2012, apparently aiding the impending robot apocalypse
doesn't come cheap. Check out the video below!
I am always
looking for low calories desserts to quench my sweet tooth! While doing my
grocery shopping I came across Dr. Oetker mousse light mixes. They taste
amazing, are easy to prepare and are only 50 calories a serving! They come in
four flavors: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. If you
like your desserts sweet I recommend adding a sugar substitute to suit
your taste. I add 6 packets of equal sweetener to the mix before I blend it.
Yum!! So, if you want to try a satisfying low calorie dessert try Dr. Oetker
mousse light mixes. You can get more

I
love flavored sparkling water. So I usually try any brand I come across. I
happened to be at Walmart the other day and came across the brand Clear
American. I love anything coconut so I tried the pineapple coconut flavor. It
taste amazing- like a Pina Colada without the liquor and without the
calories!It has zero calories, O
caffeine and O sodium and tastes unbelievable.Clear American sparkling water also comes in the following
flavors: raspberry, black cherry,
cranberry grape, white grape, lavender fuji apple, raspberry apple, golden
peach, kiwi strawberry, pomegranate blueberry, mandarin orange, pom blue acai,
key lime and strawberry. So, when you get a chance try Clear American sparkling water!
How smart is your fork? We wager not smart enough. Enter HAPILABS and
the HAPIfork which brings your cutlery kicking and screaming into 2013.
The basic concept is an eating tool that measures three metrics -- how
long you eat for, how long between each mouthful and how many of them
you take. It uses the data to give you feedback on your eating habits
which can be viewed online via a sports-tracking-style
web interface. There is, of course, a brace of companion mobile apps
too for Android and iOS, allowing you to track your eating habits on the
go. The fork has another trick up its sleeve too, which is that when it
thinks you're eating too fast, it'll vibrate when you put it to your
lips to let you know to slow down, cowboy.
The current model has a USB
connection to pipe the info up to the web apps, and there is a
Bluetooth-enabled version on the way. The firm let slip that there was
also a spoon version (which is effectively a different attachment for
same smart innards) in the works. The serious aim here is to get folk to
think about how they eat, and there's a 21-day training plan included
to get you on the right path. If you want to smarten up your dinner set,
it'll cost you $99 for the USB only version which launches in Q2 this
year. The Bluetooth unit comes later in 2014. Take a slow bite on the PR
after the break.
The units themselves feel like weighty travel
utensils at first, but don't feel too light or cheap. The brains of the
machine are hidden inside, and the end cap is where you'll get access to
the USB connection. The handle sheaths are entirely removable for easy
cleaning. There is a feedback light at the end which will go green when
you're good to eat, and go red (as well as vibrate!) should you be
packing the food in too fast. The inclusion of a social gaming element,
as well as the rather more sober element of the online metrics remind
you that, while this might not be the cheapest fork in the world, there
really is every chance it's the happiest.
