    61.5 lbs lost in 12 weeks

    edited September 2024 in Success Stories
    On February 9, I weighed in at 301.2 lbs (I'm 6'4"). After losing and gaining weight several times, I decided i would simplify it completely and just exercise every day and count calories. I tried and failed at few fad diets in the past, so this time there was nothing i would deprive myself of. And it has worked like a charm. Today May 4, i weighed in at 239.7 lbs. i weighed all my food like crazy and exercized a lot. i literally put a treadmill in my living room and would watch tv or sports and walk or run. I utilized the incline on the treadmill a majority of the time. i was amazed at how much my cardiovascular endurance improved. I ran a 5k a couple weeks back in 27:35 and maybe ran total of 10 times previous in the 8 weeks prior. Here is the picture which best shows the loss:

      honestly, i just decided to be moving in the majority of my free time. so, even if i already got a workout in for the day i would just walk on the treadmill and watch a game or whatever. whenever i had two options, i would choose the option which burned my more calories. like parking farther away from a store, going to get the mail, literally anything.....
