How are you all aiming to lose 20 lbs? What type of workout etc? I have beenhaving trouble losing two lbs despite having stopped eating crap everyday. I thought I would have lost more weight since I started exercising (at work I am on my feet for 6 hours) as opposed to being at home for 7 years, and yet still no weight loss. My thyroid is fine according to my doctor.
What's wrong with me?! Any suggestions? Is it because I do not go to the gym or that I do not do anything other than walk? I can't run because of my back and my weak ankes and feet. Would I be aiming for the impossible?0 -
Week 0 - Oct 29th - 283lbs
Week 1 - Nov 3rd - 277lbs (-6 lbs) - first week back with Soulmatefood. Loving the winter menu. Now I just need my Ankle/Achilles Tendon to finish healing so I can get back exercising.
Week 2 - Nov 10th - 280lbs (+3 lbs) - 4 days living on hotel food. Back with my beloved soulmatefood tomorrow!0 -

Hey- so we meet again! LOL
I am mostly walking with a few other workouts thrown in here and there- Zumba and Bootcamp, etc- and I plan on just trying to do my best to not eat junk. I aim to have more good days than bad and it's been working for me so far It's a slow, but sure process.
Today I walked about 4 miles along Chicago's lakefront and it was amazing!0 -

I just noticed I was exactly 2 weeks late on starting, so I'm going to give myself a 2 week credit. I have lost 3 pounds every 2 weeks, so I'm gonna credit myself 3 pounds, putting my total at 6. I still don't know if I'm going to make the goal, because I seem to be losing weight a lot slower than most people, but at least I'm trying0 -

Slow and steady is the way. Better a loss than a gain!! You're doing awesome! 20lbs is the challenge, something to aim for. If you don't make the full 20, that's not a failure. Every pound off is something to be proud of!0 -
