Our Mission Statement

No more sizing up, it is time for us to size down. Minimizing must start somewhere, why not with our body's and our day to day lives? It is time for us to lose the unwanted pounds and get back to our old selves that we once were happy with. For Miss Lane, the goal is to lose 45 pounds, being 5' 3" and 160 is not healthy, joining her on this quest is Mrs. Lynn who aims to lose 25 pounds. Our incentive? To feel better about our bodies and be able to fit into that teeny weeny string bikini and not have rolls coming over the sides.

Our rules for each other thus far:
  • Eat Breakfast
  • No Pop, (AT ALL!!)
  • Replace 1 meal a day with a cup of yogurt
  • You want a snack? Too Bad! Have a glass of water instead.
  • No Skipping Meals
  • Drink lots of tea, (no adding sugar)
  • Drink at least 8 tall glasses of water a day
  • Eat raw veggies, (smothering them in dressing defeats the purpose so just don't do it)
  • Whole grain, non sugary cereal is a go
  • Package up those big plates and bowls, only use the smalls ones. The bigger the dish the more food we eat!
  • Dim the lights when you eat, not for the ambiance, because the brighter the lights the faster you eat!
  • Having a sandwich? get rid of that top piece of bread, that right there is 100 calories!

We will be posting other things we do to lose weight, recipes, exercise regimes and our updated weights. Have any advice or words of wisdom? Feel free to leave a little something down below we would love to hear it!
