in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone..I joined this site just over a month ago and love reading the forums. I want to drop 60 lbs and am proud that since being true with my entries on this site about my food intake and exercise regime, I have dropped 30lbs in 30 days! Now i need to gifure out how to drop the other 30lbs. I am a vegetarian and addicted to coca cola, chocolate, cheese and salted potato snacks and donuts and all the other good stuff but have really pushed myself to not think of them ( coke zero is called coke zero for a reason..it has ZERO resemblance to the real thing, but hey, better than a poke in the eye.

my exercise regime is simple..I try and burn around 500 calories a day by just walking or riding my bike, or play nintendo wii boxing every day and keep my calorie intake to less than 1300 regardless of how much exercise i do. I am a sales rep so often just driving in a car and inactive in the day. However, i am lacking in protein and as a veggie who dosnt eat fish, it looks like nuts or dairy need to be a bigger part of my diet.

Please feel free to offer harsh but constructive criticism..I can take it and i always act on good advice!

My food log/exercise is open, I really would welcome people to friend me as I am a loner on here and would love to be more active in motivating others and to be motivating by others...we have all made a very positive commitment to improve our health and thats a great place to start :-)

much peace, good health and above all else, love to all...don't quit!

    just make sure you use your feet when you do wii boxing, I burnt 300 calories in 40 minutes...but you gotta keep on the move and punch like ya mean it :-) lol

    thank you for the add and stay focused!
