Each blogger is responsible for their own giveaway and my giveaway is for the  very awesome Yum Yum bowls and plates.  As most of you know, I have lost a lot of weight since having Zane. Actually, I stepped on the scale at the doctors office last week, and I am at my lowest weight since High School- Yah!!  Part of my weight loss was not only eating right and exercising, but limiting my portion size. Portion size is something I have always struggled with since I was a small girl. I thought I was eating good but after 5 servings of healthy foods, it doesn’t justify eating healthy in the first place. Can you relate to my problem of portion size problem?

So I have found the perfect solution and that is Yum Yum dishes. Yum Yum dishes are truly adorable plates and dishes that are sized perfectly for correct portion sizes. By having the correct measurements on your plate, it will help you from the dreaded overeating and feeling stuffed problem. How many times do you grab a bunch of potato chips right from the bag? With the Yum Yum dishes, you can measure out the correct amount you should have and then stop when you see the saying on the bottom of the bowl, that Yum Yum time is over. Once I reach those words on the bottom of the bowl, it is motivation for me not to go for the second serving of food. I not only like it for me, but I use it as “bribing” mechanism for my daughter. I let her have her nightly snack in the Yum Yum bowl and she knows when she reaches the over on the bottom, she is done and not to ask for another. It really works!

We a chance to review 4- 9 inch dinner plates and 4-4 oz. bowls. The 9 inch dinner plates were a perfect size and sectioned off in fours, so you can enjoy something from every food group. There are sections on your plate for protein, carbs, and vegetables.   The 9 inch plate is also a perfect sized plate  and it has  enough food on that plate to keep me going to the next meal, without feeling really full.  No one likes that ” I need to lay down feeling.” Well, with the Yum Yum plates you will not have this problem. Along the same line, Yum Yum dishes came out with the 4 oz, perfectly sized bowls. These bowls are adorable to take with you to the movies ( shhh..okay, sometimes I sneak food in)  or to just enjoy them in the comfort in your house. Like I said before, my daughter and I use these bowls all day long. Luckily, there is 4 to a set so you can rotate throughout the day and no need to do washing all day long either. I also would be remiss without the adding the fact that these plates come in the most adorable and fun colors- blues, yellows, reds, and greens!
.
Buy it: You can buy Yum Yum plates at http://yumyumdish.com/. The set of 4- 9 inch plates retails for $34 and the set of 4- 4 oz. bowls retails for $24.

  151. Cindy says

    I'm trying to lose weight because I'm less energetic, and I'm not that fast of a runner anymore.

  158. The Family that Laughs Together says

    I have a pair of jeans that helps to motivate me…when they get tight I know I have to make some changes! haha. I have lost 10 lbs since January, mostly from diet changes and choosing the right snacks- not handfuls of goldfish.

  175. Alicia says

    I'll know when I'm back to a reasonable weight when I can fit into my black strapless "night on the town" dress. Whenever that will be, I don't know…

  176. Angela Dawn says

    I am trying to lose. I am more or less (by a few lbs) 60 pounds over my goal weight. I would LOVE to win this! May have to invest if I don't. I really think portion control is the way to go for sure. That way it doesn't deprive you or drive you crazy. I love this idea. The cherry red is my favorite. As far as my favorite skinny outfit…it's been way too long really to remember. I started having kids 10 yrs ago. I have 4 kids and I'm so done. Definitely time to get back into shape and find myself again! Thanks for the chance!!! Angela MacIntyre angiemac107@aol.com

  178. Jaimie Adams says

    I've slowly been working on losing some weight. Since I've had two kids, I put on a few extra pounds. Those have come off, but I still have a few extra from getting married. Yeesh! 😉 Anyway, I'd love to lose 30 pounds. Thanks for the chance!

  182. Meaghan F. says

    I'm attempting to lose some weight or if I can't, just maintain the weight I am at the moment. Email in profile.

  187. Terra H. says

    I'm hoping to lose a few pounds before camping season starts in April. Once it does start, I'll be more active and will be able to lose more. Seems it's the same cycle every year. Thanks.

    Still trying to lose the little left over pregnancy weight 14 months after the baby & I still breastfeed (so much for that being a magical post baby weight loss key).
    yummyfaerie at hotmail dot com

  195. Kasee says

    I have a thyroid disorder that won't allow me to lose weight, but I need to maintain where I'm at, making sure I don't gain any, either. My husband is trying to lose weight, but he's not trying very hard. And I'm making sure my kids are staying active so they don't have a problem with their weight in the near future.

  196. Kara Gallant says

    I'm not trying to lose as I'm 35 weeks pregnant haha but will be soon enough! My way to lose is playing roller derby, as soon as I get back on my skates I'm hoping to tone up and lose quickly.

    I'm trying to just maintain my weight..though I could probably stand to gain a few pounds!

  221. Yesenia says

    I know you probably won't like this answer but I would like to maintain weight. I finally gained enought weight to look normal. I had lost way too much weight after breastfeeding and was looking a bit anorexic. I am happy with my weight now.

  223. Melissa B. says

  229. Christine says

    I'm trying to maintain or gain some weight. I was about 118lbs when I got pregnant with my son (first child), and I fell to 115, then 111 after having him (nursing). I didn't want to fall below 110 because I feel that is the lowest possible healthy weight i could be for my size, and last night i noticed that i fell below 110. I've been eating like normal, not really exercising, and switching to higher fat foods (like switching from 1% milk to whole milk, but nothing seems to be helping…. none of my clothes fit, i look like a little kid playing in mom's clothes 🙁

  231. Mikki says

    I am trying to lose weight. I am getting married in June and while I have already lost 30 pounds, I would like to lose 10 more!

  232. Susannah B says

    I have the opposite problem – I lose so much weight after having a baby I look like a skeleton and have no curves and my clothes hang!

  235. Carrie's Rambles says

    I lost 25 pounds last year and stalled! I need to get moving and lose the last 25
