My Weight Loss Update

[Yavin4]

Jan. 1, 2010 - 233 lbs

Feb. 1, 2010 - 223 lbs

Mar. 1, 2010 - 217.5 lbs


Now, I enter a crucial period in this weight loss plan. My aim is to get my weight to under 210 when the weather here turns warm because once the weather is nice, I can do more activities like run outside and go for long walks.

2. That's fantastic!

Are you employing any special method? I am currently on my own plan - old school - cutting calories, and working out like CRAZY.
You seem to moving along at a fairly good clip. Any tips?

Sending good wishes...:hi:

5. Greatly Reduce Carbs and Eliminate Sugar Entirely

As for exercise, moderate impact for long minutes many times a week. Today is the 60th day of the year, and so far I am 42-18 in terms of going to the gym (42 days of working out and 18 days of not).

I see people at my gym pay a trainer for their workouts and they do these crazy workouts, but never lose a pound.

I just put the treadmill on a steep hill and just walk for 50 minutes or a light jog for an hour.

6. Dammit! I knew you were going to say that

about the carbs and sugar. I've cut down quite a bit, but those two things are my biggest weaknesses.
I'm pretty good with the exercise - an hour and a half at least six days a week (45-50 min. cardio, the rest of the time I alternate between yoga and strength).

I've only lost 27 pounds in the last nine months. Guess I'll have to cut back even more on the carbs!:cry:


Thanks so much for the tips, and keep us updated.

7. Sugar free and low carb is

The only way to lose and keep your sanity.
I'm only down 12 # but I just got the T Tapp videos, Wish me luck.

3. What a great start!

With the warmer weather you'll reach your goal. It may take a bit of time, but if you exercise you will get there.

8. two questions

what would you do when you reach your aim - weight under 210 lb, i mean, would you try to keep your weight on that level, or would you you keep going?
and one more question - do you have any "calorie-content "daily"?

[Yavin4]

9. When I reach 210, I'm going to keep going until I hit 180

It will be much, much easier to do so when the weather is warm.

No, I don't track calorie content. I do track carbs and sugars.

10. Wonderful! By spring you should be trim. I'm on a diet too and hope to loose another 20 pounds by

spring.

11. That's great!

Good luck to you and I hope you reach your goal. :)

I really, really need to join the gym.. I'm not overweight but somewhat out of shape(I've been saying I need to join the gym for two years now... I need to get off my rear and do it...)
