I am almost to my new shortboard ideal weight... So I jog 4 times a week now but started at 3 times a week....Couldn't even jog 1/2 a mile when i started 2 months ago and now I can jog 1 1/2 miles without stopping....My meals are from Fresh and Easy, 1 cup of Brown rice and marinaded Chicken Breasts for lunch and dinner with only coffee in the morning... Used to still feel hungry but after a week of this, it's satisfying even after my workouts....Seems like every 2 days I am shedding a pound but also gaining muscles....

All you have to do is be determined, keep on a routine and it gets easier as you stick to your schedule. Some days after my 8 hour work, I feel lazy to jog, but since I haven't broken my routine, it keeps me motivated to keep on schedule. I would probably feel so much guilt if I didn't keep on it at this point....

Good Luck guys...

    I agree, it's all about the will power! And guilt is an excellent motivational tool. When I feel like sleeping in instead of hitting the gym, all I have to do is think about how I'm going to feel guilty all day for not going. And that gets me out of bed!
