I've done really well so far and lost 12 pounds - last week I was very inconsistent and didn't lose anything - I am refocusing my diet and exercise by March 21st I want to drop the remaining 8 pounds and continue toning. My work out plan has been running 3x week, circuit training 3x week staying within my 1200 calories daily - I am eating 50% protein, 25% complex carbs and 25% veggies and fruit. I also take B12 and a multi-Vitamin every day. It works well and is easy to maintain
I noticed a difference last week in my energy because I had pizza one night and buffalo chicken and fries one afternoon-not doing that anymore - 5 -

1/16: 236.3-- Running 4 miles/day

Weight lost/gained this week: + 4 lbs
Weight lost/gained this month: - 31 lbs
My legs can no longer handle 4 miles a day, so this week I started running 2 miles (to decrease the amount of stress on my legs) and started weight training. I also incorporated whey protein in my diet to increase my daily protein consumption. Still eating salads and baked chicken/shrimp/turkey. Added tuna as a snack also. Omelettes or oatmeal for breakfast. Nothing but water and absolutely NO ALCOHOL.
You are doing AMAZING!!!!!
Thanks. I've been really dedicated to this journey. I want to be 190 by April 11th (My Birthday). I was definitely tested today going to Dave and Busters for my son's birthday, but I declined the food and just had a glass of water. Went home and grabbed a salad and tuna. Each day is more motivation. Thanks for the compliment.4 -

I agree. Fatty foods will deplete any energy that you need to have a successful workout. I had ribs one day and struggled to get through my daily run. Lesson learned............2 -

OK week two of not much difference. It's my inconsistencies with workout and snacks! I know exactly what's broken, just gotta step up to fix it. I'm going into the second week of the busiest work time if the year. If I don't stress eat and actually loose anything this week I'll feel very accomplished!6 -

I increased my HITT at the gym and went back to eating more lean meats like baked chicken and turkey. That seems to be the winning formula for me. Less than 3 weeks to go!!!3 -
