Well I started my weight loss journey about the 10th of January. I started out weighing about 222 pounds. when i started I had to leave the confines of my household and make a 2 week pit stop in Chattanooga, tn followed by a 1 week pit stop in lynchburg, va. not the best idea when starting to concentrate on working out/ nutrition in terms of what I was eating etc. well i persevered and made sure I went to the gym almost everyday after work. i did splurge a little but did a pretty good job of watching what I was eating. now since returning I have ramped up my cardio from 20 minute sessions to now doing 30-45 minute session on my lift days, and doing 45-60 minute cardio on non lift days. i do normally lift on M W F, and cardio on T R S, with taking Sundays off to rest. the end result is I have lost 12 pounds and currently I weigh 210 and can now tuck in my t-shirts with out them feeling snug...LOL. my next challenge will be starting on Monday when i will be away from home working for 3 months working 6-7 days a week plus 10-12 hr shifts. well I am hoping to be down to 200 lbs by about April 1st. best of luck to everyone in their own weight loss journeys you can do this !!!

Great job!! It sounds like you have to travel alot with your work so instead of looking at it as a negative, just realize that you are learning how to make a lifestyle change even in what you normal work life is:) You sound very motivated and positve.....you will be in Wonderland in no time!!
