Wow, you look amazing!! How did you do it?
I eat 1300 calories a day. I started out doing 15 min. a day on the elliptical adding as I could. I now do 120 min. a day. I haven't missed a single day since Sept. 1!!! I have a Pro Form Elliptical FX 5 in my home. I just put on Netflix or a movie and go. I currently do 120 min. at a resistance of 4, 5, and then 6. RPM 40 or higher. I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred from Jan. 1 to Jan 30. I still do it, just not every day. I walk/jog when I can. I have lost 82 lbs since last April. Most of the weight (69 lbs.) when I started using the elliptical on Sept. 1. Basically, I got off my butt and started making healthier food choices. I log religiously, everything I eat good or bad. I stopped drinking Coke and Dr Peppers. I occasionally have a Dr Pepper 10 if I really have a craving. When I started at 225, my BMI was 37.4, which is considered obese! Now, at 143, BMI is at 23, in the healthy range. At 148, I reached normal, or healthy BMI range. I'm shooting for a final goal of 135 by Summer. *Reached 147 on March 20!!! My birthday met and exceeded.
Concerning the exercise calories...No, I don't eat them back, But if I go a little over I don't stress it, because I have that cushion. And I have splurged for special occasions, like my anniversary or my kids birthdays. I do not go hungry! I sometimes have to force myself to eat the last few calories to reach my intake goal. I still meet or exceed my weekly goals and it seems to be working, I have to say that it is getting harder to lose the smaller I get.
Do you net 1300 calories a day, or that's how much you eat?0 -
