Diet Tribe - 30 Pounds in 90 Days!

Brandiann

I have only started dieting about 1 week now.
I haven't had any issues with sticking with the low calorie diet I'm on.

I started working out. 20 minutes treadmill and then 20 minutes on the bike at work. ( I only get 1 hour for lunch and I have to shower, so I can't do more than that, unfortunetly)

So, I have started taking some classes at night too.
I am doing Zumba (very high impact Zumba!) on Thursday nights and Cardio Kickboxing on Tuesday nights. I like taking the time at night for myself and going to these classes. I am thinking about uping that and doing a class every night.
My hope is that I will see a larger drop in the weight. ( I lost 5 pounds this first week)

I know as I am writing this that it sounds to aggressive. But I am on a very tight time frame and I really want to do all I can while I am still very very motivated.

Does that sound crazy??:huh:

I don't thing it sounds crazy but just be careful not to over do it. Google "HIITT" and read about it, you want a cardio workout that is going to burn calories after you've worked out not just while you are working out. Also maybe limiting your carbs just a little can help get you results faster and drinking lots of water.

Great job on the 5lb lose! :drinker:

I will be meeting with a personal trainer on Monday and she will work with me to reach my goal.

I can't wait. With the motivation from these groups and from a personal trainer, I'm sure I will get this done.

That is going to be good, a personal trainer... someone who can push you to your limits!

Hey Everyone!

I am really excited because tomorrow is my weigh in! I know I didnt reach the 15 pound goal but I started a new life change. Which is better than winning any amount of money.

I feel so much better and healthier! I cant beleive I was soooo big....I still have long way to go but I now have the motivation to get there.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND TO EVERYONE!

I was VERY lucky to lose weight this week...I don't know why I've had such a hard time watching my calories this week! But the weight loss is slowing down so I have got to get back to it.

Great week! I am loving the South Beach Diet. I did have slip ups over the weekend, but I still lost 4 pounds. Low Carb diets and working out seem to work beter for me than watching calories and exercise.

Happy Monday to all!

Only down 1 this week...but I've been good about exercise and eating so I'm going to agree with Brandiann- I must be building muscle... I even stayed within my calories yesterday going out for a Mother's Day Brunch.

Congrats to everyone on their progress.:drinker: :flowerforyou:

WTG ladies! :drinker: You guys are doing an awesome job. Sorry I'm not doing personals for each like I usually do, but I've been a bit busy with my son not feeling well, cleaning and exercising. Have a great day and stay focused and strong, weeks are going by quickly but we can do it ladies!

Hey everyone! Well, I stepped on the scale and was SUPER depressed... I only lost a pound this week! But everyone at home keeps telling me how much weight I've lost, and I've been working out at the gym 3 days a week for the past 2 weeks... so I decided to try on some pants that have been sitting in my closet forever... and surprise, they all fit! A size 8/9 is a little snug, especially in the tummy, but it is a huge improvement from the last time I tried them on. To give you an idea, I was wearing a size 16 this time last year, and a size 12 a month ago. I'm also noticing my tummy getting flatter, and my double chin's gone! So I'll take my one pound and be happy :laugh: I'm assuming some of this might even be muscle gain as well, because I've noticed my calves and thighs are getting firm...

I didn't check in yesterday as I went for my yearly physical and doctor told me that at 37 years old, I was entering menopause. Oh yeah.... But after the Not so good news, he weighed me and....

I guess its not so bad. I quit smoking almost two months ago and I'm losing weight, instead of gaining. It's a good thing.

NickiRae

So I just have to say that I have been working out everyday for the past 2 weeks and been doing my ab work outs, legs and arms!! I have gotten down from 145 pounds to 132 pounds so far yay!!!! I have my days like today that my fiance wanted to make cheeseburgers and fries for dinner..... but I have been doing so well thru-out the week that it really doesnt effect me besides feeling guilty afterwards.

I would like to be a toned 130 by July 4th my 28th ..... I hope I can make it there.. I still have some jigglys! as I like/dont like to call it!

Good Luck Everybody!!!!
