Couple of nice victories this week. The belt I bought at the end of last year that was tight has now become too big. I need to start adding holes or buy a new belt. I am also fitting into shirts that I haven't been able to wear for months. My conditioning is Improving rapidly and i am getting stronger. Loving this :)

and thank you so much IDK and Sephira

wow, 100lbs i 8 months is crazy, truly impressive. I am shooting for 70 but I would be ecstatic with half you number in that time.

and 10lbs in a month is aweseome. good for you

Yeah i dont think you can beat yourself up over mistakes. Everyone is going to have slip ups. The key is to get back on it. Thats what killed me in the past. I would be good all week but then Friday I would have something bad for dinner. Then I would wake up on saturday and be like oh well I already screwed up last night,…

flatndr, what was your caloric intake if you dont mind me asking? Thats amazing weight loss. Really impressive. Did you notice any muscle loss? While I am very overweight, I do have some muscle and would like to keep it. Its what keeps me from dropping my calories to a super low amount. I am trying to find that sweet spot…

BJ, I hear you on the water thing. its one thing that is sorely lacking in my program. I tend to drink a decent amoun of water at night but not nearly enough during the day. I tried to drink one Gallon of water a day for a bit and I was in the bathroom all day, lol. I dont know how you can possibly drink that much water.…

Lisa this is what I want this thread to be. A place to come together and support each other. I want to keep a running diary of sorts here and share my journey, the good and the bad. I welcome others to do the same. We all may be at different stages on our journey but we are looking to get to the same place. Welcome and if…

Thank you all. Yesterday was a recovery day, so i kept my cals a little lower. I normally eat about 2400 a day but yesterday i kept them around 2000. Even on recovery day i burned about 3100 cals according to my body media fit arm band. However i had way too much sodium so i will have to tweak a few things. Back at the GYM…

awesome Pammy, glad to have you aboard. I know joining a gym can be daunting but you took the first and hardest step. Thats fantasitc. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

thank you all for your kind words. I have tried in the past and had mixed levels of success but this time I feel is going to br truly different. The reason being is I met the most amazing woman who said yes when I asked THE question. Shortly after that I read a quote that really hit home. It was from a gentleman that lost…

Got on the scale saturday and down to 269 so far. I will weigh myself monthly from now on but wanted the validation that this was working. Got set up with a great strenght and conditioning coach who I think can do wonders. Not just for weight loss but correcting movement patterns and making sure I do everything properly.…

thanks All. I went to an intense boot camp class yesterday. Going by the body media fit Link, my calories burned yesterday total were 3860. I ate about 2400 calories yesterday. I am leery about jumping into more of a deficit then that straight away. It was pretty tough for me to eat that much eating healthy food but I woke…

thanks. I also bought one of those armbands that measure calorie expenditure. I have heard good things about them and will give it a test run. I see you lost 70lbs. What was your caloric intake like?
