LOST 191 LBS (PHOTOS) – SUCCESS AFTER 999 FAILURES

NikonPal

As some people know, I weigh myself daily and “record” my weight once a week. Today I am breaking that self-imposed rule because I weighed myself and found I knocked off that last 2 pounds!

I celebrated by burning 445 calories doing 80 minutes of cardio exercises and then making a “Fun” breakfast! (Ok – a little corny).

Next on the agenda – a warm getaway I booked last summer (while still hovering around 300) tied to my weight-loss target.

Much thanks to you and others that commented. Very kind.

Technically at maintenance, but playing it conservatively and increased my daily target so it still is set at a small weekly loss.

This morning with temps at (-)30 windchill, the gym entrance door with its icy covering seemed to be saying – go home…but instead, I burned 412 calories doing 75 minutes of cardio exercises…then a nice low calorie breakfast!

Congratulations! That's an amazing, motivational transformation. It seems like you've succeeded in making a true lifestyle and outlook change instead of just a mere weight-loss diet.

Have you ever considered starting a healthy eating/recipe blog? What I loved seeing about your meal pictures (besides the fact that they are well-composed and shot) is that they manage to look appetizing, have a lot of variety, and yet seem be simple and not require intensive prep or difficult-to-find ingredients. I love to cook, but I've noticed that many weight loss meal recipes tend to either be too prep-intensive to do every day, or they just seem bland and repetitive. I know I tend to have the same "yogurt from the carton and piece of fruit on the way to work" every morning. It seems like putting a little effort into making beautiful, healthful, diverse meals like you've shown would prevent the burn-out and boredom a lot of us experience that leads to binging.

You and my wife may have just convinced me to do that – She has told me repeatedly to put everything together into one book/blog whatever – I’m taking a little vacation celebration soon & then I might just take that task on.

The approach I took was exactly with the end-goals you stated. As far back as when I started in 2013 – that is how I prepared my meals. I focused on nutrition, low calories, variety, appearance, easy to prep etc. and avoidance of boredom. It was an extremely important part of my program!

This morning breakfast was very simple and I still kept it super low-calorie; I banked those calories for the afternoon / evening.

Best wishes.
