  • Weigh-in Weight Dec 28 244 Jan 01 240.4 Jan 08 240.4 Jan 15 238.7 Jan 22 237.5 Jan 29 236.8 Slow and steady wins the race. Just wish it would be bigger numbers. Exercise keeps me in this. Average calories burned: 364 average minutes:55 Total Calories:2546
  • @RubyRed427 Haha! Diets have us doing crazy things like eating the containers the food came in. Did you log those calories though?
  • Friday weigh in: SW: 244 CW: 237.5 (BF%: 31.1) GW: 215 Dec 28 244 Jan 01 240.4 -1.48% Jan 08 240.4 -1.48% Jan 15 238.7 -2.17% Jan 22 237.5 -2.66% Heading in the right direction, but was hoping for bigger numbers. Averaging 383 calories and 54 min. a day exercising, so I'm hoping some of the lack of weight loss is muscle…
  • Setbacks are inevitable. How you respond to them is your choice. Try replacing the bad snacks with healthier options. Grab a clementine instead of licorice for example. I have been craving sweets and luckily (so far) have mostly resisted. I did have a few Milano cookies twice this week, but still kept to my calories and…

  • Friday weigh in. Weekends are tough. After a good week of small successes, I need to stay the course and keep my head down and plow through instead of rewarding myself, only to slide back a pound or two. Still down 5.3 lbs. (2.17%) since 12/28! Exercise has been the key for me (besides tracking my calories). I read an…
  • So, week 1 was GREAT! Lost almost 4 lbs. in 5 days. Mind you I was on vacation and had plenty of time to exercise. Then the weekend came and I new I was in trouble. Drank too much wine on Saturday and on Sunday my family had reservations at a nice restaurant with a multi-course meal and 3 bottles of wine. Monday I weighed…
  • Forgot to post this yesterday. I'm going to weigh in on Friday's. Good week to begin with. Exercised everyday Bike, Strength, Yoga and Walked. Burned more than 2,200 calories over 282 minutes of exercise. Averaging 449.4 cal and 56.4 min. per workout. Need to keep this going. Dec 28 244 Jan 01 240.4 Jan 08 Jan 15 Jan 22…
  • I'll join your challenge. Don't see many men here, but we all need encouragement. CW: 244 GW:210
  • Find a studio in your area and see their schedule. Most classes are adaptive to ALL levels of abilities.
  • Take a look at this article: http://life.gaiam.com/article/can-yoga-replace-strength-training
  • Yoga is now my go-to exercise. In a good week I take 4 classes at my local studio. One of these sessions is "Men's Yoga" and none of these are easy. Even the "Gentle" yoga classes tax your muscles. I recently burned 640 calories in a 75 minute Core class. Average burn 350-400 calories per session. Great workout, great…
  • Make yourself like yoga, no. Enjoy the benefits of it and understand it is an exercise program you can do anywhere at any age and get results from it, yes. I am fortunate to have found a good studio nearby and try to get 4 classes in per week. Tuesday: Men's, Wednesday: Core, Saturday: Flow followed by Gentle. Previously I…
  • I'm in. 12 more lbs and I will have lost 25 pounds in 2012! Yoga and stairmaster for me.
