Se knew she had to do something to change it. However, Lindsay&#8217;s number one obstacle was her addiction to food. &#8220;My only real obstacle was that I&#8217;m addicted to food &#8211; plain and simple. I like to eat whether I&#8217;m full or not,&#8221; she told us. Lindsay is not alone, there are people who cannot get enough of food and this contributes to their weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>One day Lindsey joined an online community called <strong><a title=\"dir mamavation testimony\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/02\/fitness-for-moms-inspiration-from-bookie-boo-of-mamavation\/\">Mamavation<\/a><\/strong>, a website set out to challenge mothers to makeover their lifestyles. The site and program were founded by Leah Segedie of BookieBoo.com, who has also<strong> <a title=\"leah segedie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/true-weight-loss-story-leah-segedie\/\">shared her True Weight Loss Story<\/a><\/strong> with us. Soon after joining Mamavation Lindsay started their 2 Week Challenge, which consists of six days of hardcore workouts and one day of rest. After the 2 Week Challenge, she found a love for exercise.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Lindsay tried the Special K Diet; but instead of eating just the cereal brand for two weeks straight she created a customized diet. &#8220;I did the <strong><a title=\"special k diet review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Special_K_Challenge\/\">Special K Challenge<\/a><\/strong>, but also went through the process of customizing it to my own preferences: lifestyle, activity level, goal, height\/weight.&#8221; Customizing the Special K Challenge worked for her because she ended up losing ten pounds after the first two weeks of the diet. &#8220;I lost an astounding ten pounds. It went above and beyond my wildest hopes. The plan forced me to drink water, no soda and eat healthier. That was the try magic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So far she has lost 24 pounds and is continuing to lose weight with <strong><a title=\"shaklee diet review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/shaklee\/\">Shaklee<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s Cinch Inch Loss Plan, which she started on June 18 to get her off the weight loss plateau. Lindsay says the Special K Diet was worth it because &#8220;it was the kick-start I needed to really get moving. Seeing those results so quickly showed me that I can change the way I&#8217;m living and I will see results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Brandi Laughlin weight loss story\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/brandi-laughlin-lost-60-pounds-after-baby-with-weight-watchers-and-running\/\">Brandi Laughlin Lost 60 Pounds after Baby with Weight Watchers and Running<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Potty training without candy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/candy-free-potty-training-should-be-the-norm-not-the-exception\/\">Candy-Free Potty Training Should be the Norm, Not the Exception<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Cookie Monster Share It Maybe Diet review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/cookie-monsters-call-me-maybe-spoof-cuts-calories-by-sharing\/\">Cookie Monster&#8217;s &#8220;Call Me Maybe&#8221; Spoof Cuts Calories by Sharing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the start of the new year Lindsay Chung decided it was time to get serious about her weight loss.
