Hi
I m 41 , 5.2 height
Recently started to eat healthy n want to loose approx 15 pounds.
I did lost like 5 pounds in 3 months but progress is sooo slow that it's kinda tiring but I m still trying to find motivation.
I try to eat 1100 calories a day,n I avoid carbs as much as possible, but I eat healthy carbs like beans lentils n chicken
I take 10,000 step daily n sometimes till 12,000 steps
I would like to know what else I can do to speed up my progress.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thanks1 -

up almost 5 lbs. in weight, making it easy to understand the co-relation between muscle soreness and water gain!4 -
@Djproulx Thank you for the book recommendations! I just hit 50 a couple of weeks ago and they look like they'll be very useful!1

I love everything else he's done. I just don't like these workouts. So, it's pretty safe to say that I'll be substituting something from Les Mills Combat or Insanity when this workout comes up on the calendar. Now it's time to make a couple more batches of soap before heading off to work. Happy Sunday everyone!
@BettyM1017 This quote reminded me of the FitBomb review of P90X. He blogged everyday about the workouts and did some deep dives into the people with Tony in the background in a very funny way. When I did P90X I read along day for day to keep me motivated. The reason I bring this up is he has some hilarious rants on Welsey Idol's half hearted horse stance in KempoX. If you are doing P90X currently it is a great read http://www.fitbomb.com/p/p90x.html

@tojo_73 Thanks for the link! I'll definitely check it out. I have to say that I love the people he uses in the background. They make me feel a lot better about my own abilities, lol!

lost 30 pounds since May 17. Unable to exercise as I'm old..and have mobility issues ompounded with advanced degenerative arthritis...sadly. So just plug along losing about a pound per week1

@BettyM1017 Just a note that his humor is based in large part of mocking (particularly Tony and himself but mostly Tony) and sarcastic. Best to start at day 1.2

@BettyM1017 Both Fitzgerald and Friel are well known in endurance circles, particularly among triathletes and cyclists. I really like Fitzgerald's premise of "Performance Weight Management" as the focus for athletes, as opposed to just chasing a an artificial number on the scale.1 -
@ekim2016 - congrats on the 30 pounds lost since May...that's about the time I started here, and I'm struggling to lose the last 10 pounds of my 30 pound goal. So you're doing better than me!! Just focus on what you can do, and do the best you can.
Strength Training day at the gym for me today. Abs, Arms, Legs. Still trying to figure out some good alternate workouts in the gym for when I can't paddle due to 'winter' (loosely used term in FL) weather. (Still trying to convince them to get a paddleboard exercise machine at my gym, so I don't have to buy one myself, but barring that, I want to get a solid workout routine that will help me crush racing season in the Spring ~ already checking out purchasing a new race board for the Spring race season, so I need to be sure I can handle it and make it to the podium).5 -

Walked to the polls today to Vote! Please, if you are in the US, get out and vote, if you haven't already!!
Came home and worked on some of the challenges for my Amazing Race challenge group...OMG, most of them aggravated one body part or another. The previous weeks were mostly challenges that just about anyone could do with minor modifications, but this week it seems like even the alternatives aren't helpful, so just gutting it out to get through them. BTW, I totally suck at jumping rope. It used to be so easy as a kid...I don't know what happened.3 -
Happy Election Day to those in the US. Make sure to vote.4

TRX/Barre class done. Hope all of you are well and in good spirits.

Back to the gym today - have been really sore from the long ride on Sunday but once I got going with my lifting routine I felt so much better. Will keep things light for a few more days as I got another long one (230km/143miles) on Saturday, if I can finish it will be my longest distance, will see
Keep moving everyone don't let the cold weather deter our active lifestyle ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ3 -
