  • Hit the 231 pound mark today. Heading the right way though. Its amazing that my net calorie consumption is consistently below 1500 but the pounds move so slowly. I guess when it takes 40 + years to put it on getting it gone is a big chore. That stomach visceral fat is one very difficult fat to reduce.

    in What Was Your Work Out Today? Comment by gaidiesr January 2020
  • LOL I have even kept my old belt when my waistline hit 46. I dated each hole when i needed to add holes to reduce the size to fit my waist. Its now at around 40" I still kept the belt although I don't wear it I do put it on and add the holes needed to adjust to the right waist size. Hows that for being focused? LOL.

  • I agree with you, this is new to me so I want to see results because of being so anal on calorie intake and my workouts. I'm sure it will subside "slightly" once I know what affects me and what doesn't. Thanks for the encouragement.
