Cardio/Core training 5-7 hours a week and you will notice a huge weight loss!!!

Logging your food is critical to gauging calories in vs. calories out with exercise. I was able to hit my BMI a few years ago with heavy cardio 5-7 hrs. a week on a stationery bike combined with a core workout of between 150-300 reps. using various exercises. Lost 70 pounds in 10 months and hit my target weight of 218…

I agree with the above posters...your diet is all over the place. I would like to add 2 suggestions..log each and every day and exercise. I know by my brief time on MFF that there are days where I am way to low with intake and my weight loss suffers from it. In January, I walked outside 11 hours lost 17 pounds. February, 9…

I gained 2 pounds the next day after eating Chinese food...took about 2 days for the weight to come off.

Nice!!!! :)

I'm not a dietician, the last week the sodium intake seems high. I know from recent experience if I eat way too much sodium I gain 2-3 lbs. and it takes a couple of days to flush out the salt with lots of water. A pound a week weight loss is still great. :)

Awesome!!! Keep up the good work :)

I own a Health o meter I purchased in 2001 for around $200 and still works great. If space is a concern, I had a Tania digital body fat scale entry level that I bought at Walgreens. I returned is after a few weeks when I realized wow I am obsessed with weighing myself. The numbers on both scales were exactly the same.

Post after post about calorie restriction...A few months on a set regime Insanity/Body Beast/Whatever you have to commit to a lifestyle change of healthy diet with exercise daily and you will lose the weight and keep it off.

Lost 21.5 lbs. since January 1st, feel great with 38.5 lbs.to go!!

I have an open diary, my diet is still changing but the last 2 days my daughter's birthday upset the balance a bit with deep dish pizza. Hopefully, I can flush out the sodium and weight gain over the next couple of days. :)

That's awesome that you are so close to hitting the healthy "BMI" range. I was able to achieve that 12 years ago and maintained it for nearly 3 years. I still need to lose 40 more pounds to hit that number. This time I WILL maintain it! :)

Calorie deficit between 300-500 calories a day, lost 17 lbs. first month. Also, exercise consisting of 11 hours of walking, 12days of weights and an ab workout 5-6 days a week which usually took about 15 minutes.

First month every other day, now down to twice a week.

I had a membership for 4 years at $80 a month. I enjoyed the Pilates class, the spin classes were OK..I guess I'm on a different level since I do long distance road cycling and found the classes were not that challenging or serious. I re-connected with cycling outdoors and lost more weight than when I was a member.

Logged 11 hours last month walking outside, live in northeast Ohio in a rural area. I wear a beat up old pair of asics and insulated socks.

Men's Health February issue has a great article on the lean muscle diet. I'm trying to incorporate part of that diet with my weight loss program. I'm 6'61/2" started on January 1st 278 currently 259 and now if I eat less than 2000 calories I have less energy. Feel free to add me.

It is difficult and a struggle losing weight. My whole life from my teen years I have dealt with poor self esteem issues. I wasn't comfortable in my own shell. You don't need a chip ..even if you seen a small improvement you accomplished a major goal. I have lost weight and I wish I could lose more inches. Don't give up…

More Water!!!

Visualize the new you..in the mirror the person staring back at you is not the person you want to be or could be.. Everyone can reach there goal by taking it one day at a time...As I often stated before on these posts...Its not a sprint but a marathon. Even if you have a bad day or two never give up...We are all in this to…

I usually weigh in on Wednesday and the first of the month. After joining the January weight loss challenge, I became obsessed with the scale weighing every day. Now I'm back to my old system and it works for me.

Burn more calories running, your knees will hurt less if you cycle.

Fruit fills me up and keeps me from feeling hungry...

I agree 100% with this comment...I usually lift 3 days a week, on Fri. Sat. Tue. with 2 days rest I can recover and increase my sets. Cardio(walking outside) when weather pemits until I can roll the bike out. :)
