POST IF YOU ARE LOSING WEIGHT 1-2lbs a week!!!

sarahwright01

I eat 1500 cals a day (after work out cals) work out 5 x a week, and get in as much "fun-ercize" on teh weekends as I can. (i.e. Riding bikes with my hubby, gardening)

I am eating clean, and trying to eat more of a high protein less carb life style. Although, for me, not all "carbs" are bad. For example, i stil eat fruit. I love it, and i feel it is a good Carb. I also eat whole grains. Although, if I have bread at lunch, I won't eat bread at dinner.

I eat every 2-3 hours. My work out schedule is this: Monday's: walk with Dog's after work, Zumba at 7:15. Tuesdays, Weights in Mornings, Couch to 5K work out in after noon. Wednesdays: Zumba only at 6:10. Thursdays: Riding my Horses. Friday's Weights in AM couch to 5K work out in After noon. Saturday: Bikes with hubby/funersize. Sunday, Couch to 5K

I have lost 25 pounds in the 13 weeks I have been using MFP. I am pretty much staying within my calories and like others have said keeping full by eating more dense, low cal foods such as veggies...also portion control. I eat the same dinner that I cook for my family, but I use portion control and usually have lots of veggies with mine to help fill me up. I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day...I do drink diet soda, but limit myself to one 12 ounce can a day. I mostly walk for exercise..but I do mix it up sometimes with aerobic/circuit training type workouts on either fit tv or exercise on demand.

Eating right and regular exercise. There is no magic bullet. The secret ingredient of the secret ingredient soup is... NOTHING! It's all you.

There is no charge for AWESOMENESS!! hahahaha Poh!

I have only been here 3 weeks, but I am losing 2 lbs a week. These are my personal rules:

1. I stay within my calorie budget and I eat all of my exersize calories.
(I cut out all fast food, but I still eat some processed food at home.)
2. I eat every 3 hours - I NEVER skip a meal.
3. I do some activity 6 days a week. It varies, because I get bored easy, but I try to burn at least 300 calories.
I walk the dog, do an exersize video, or scrub the floors like a madwoman, whatever works.
4. I really don't like drinking water, but I drink at least 6 glasses. (I try for more, but don't always make it)

1.5-3 pounds a week for me. I try my best to maintain a 1500 calorie a day limit, and exercise like mad on most days..2-3 hours at a time. It can be tiring, and my legs do hurt sometimes but I think weight loss it worth it. I don't totally deny myself of treats..once a week (tried doing it once a month, but that didn't work) ill have a night where i would eat 2-3 slice of pizza, subway, or eat some chips or whatever I feel like eating. I do my best to exercise the extra calories to maintain my current weight when that happens so I can keep losing, and it works. The last 8 weeks or so..I lost about 15 pounds in that time. First couple of months i was only losing a pound a week. Then i guess my body got used to the changes and lost more then that.

NO FAIR!!!! I just can not lose 2 pounds in one week.
I am allowed 1200 calories per day and if I stick to that I will lose .7 pounds per week. I wear a polar heart monitor and will burn between 200-350 calories per workout doing P90x. Trust me I "bring it". I have tried to increase my workouts to two a day doing P90x and Insanity and can get to 500 calories doing them both. But it just is not humanly possible for me to do them both each day. I do have weight to lose but I am a small person and just can not get a 7000 calorie deficit each week. So I guess that it is different for everyone, because I am one that eats pretty clean following Tosa Renos Eating Clean plan and works out on a regular basis following the P90x schedule for the last 6 months and still can not lose 2 pounds per week. I wish I was one of those people that could eat a pizza and then walk my dog and burn 1000 calories, but that is just not how it is for me.
