I Lost Weight Because of a Plate!

2 weeks ago, I went into the city with friends. I just wanted to get out of my office for a while. For quite a while, I had been reading about women losing weight while using portion plates. I could never find such plates in stores and did not deem myself worthy of buying on-line. Well, in the city, we stopped at a Habitat For Humanity thrift store. "Something" told me to head for the kitchen section. There they were...2 portion plates under $2.00! I was so excited! I bought both! Recently, my roommate had asked me to help her lose weight. So, I gave her one of the plates. Now let me mention, I have been on a plateau for over a year. My weight would not budge. Both plates have a 1 cup serving section for fruit, a 1 cup serving section for vegetables and a 1 1/2 cup section for the main dish. My roommate has lost 10 pounds! I have lost 8 pounds! The photo of my plate actually looks larger than it really is. But, I am telling you...it works! I would have lost weight sooner if I had ordered such plate on-line. If you want to lose weight, buy a portion plate on-line! You are worth it! Don't be stubborn like I was! I think God and Santa were in cahoots when I found the plates at the thrift store! Thank you both!

For better effort, cut the fruits and carbs while add the fats

Hi Leiann! That sounds great! You can still enjoy what you want to eat but just need to remember the portions. I remember writing an article about portions. I am also trying to lose weight so now I will definitely order a portion plate. Thank you so much for your recommendation!

I say whatever works. I never had a portion plate but I did lose weight by cutting back on my portions.

I think it is a good way to control oneself in eating some meals. I will try this soon. Thanks for sharing it.

I don't get it. Those are common plates you can find in the paper plate section of any store. So, why was it hard for you to find them? I'm glad it's working for you.

My plate has specific amounts/compartments for specific food. Sure, there are plastic plates at stores, but the serving sizes are much bigger, atleast that is what I have found.

@Spontaneo You never know what you will find in Thrift Shops. I used to work at one and was looking for something and could not find it anywhere else and then found it in the Thrift Shop. They are great and so glad you did not have to order it online. So nice of you to buy one for your roommate. Congrats on the weight loss to both of you.

@Spontaneo It was great fun. Do you have any near you? I went in by accident asking if he would put some of my stuff out on consigment and there happened to be a job available.

@Hannihar There are some. I just find telecommuting and on-line work more convenient. But the benefits of working at a thrift store sound awesome!
