June 23rd. 33 lbs so far. had a little plateau there for a week or 2 but getting back on track

YAY! Awesome job!

Outstanding job. I have made the same discoveries. Cutting out Soda was hard (Bet Coke stock took a hit or two also) and even though I went from tight 40's to saggy 36's so far I still see the same guy in the mirror..maybe we are just sensitive? lol Keep up the great work, your an inspiration!

That made me laugh out loud...:)

Thats the main thing isnt it? Having that "moment". When you realize that not only do you HAVE to change, you WANT to change. And more important you have to know you CAN change and when you do, try not to kick yourself in the butt for waiting like I did...lol

All diets work and NO diet works. Everyone is different. get 10 people on 10 different diets and 9 of them may lose weight and 1 may not. Switch them around and you will have the same result. You must start your quest by asking yourself if you are really ready to do it, then you must go out and find what works for you. It…

Skip a meal and drink a Guinness....Brilliant!

Awesome job! When I started I was on Nexium for nightly bouts of Acid reflux. Since I have started I havent taken my pills and have gone a month and a 1/2 with out even a twinge of acid. So hoping it will lower my BP a little too.

CoCoMa...may I remind you I am male and as any woman will tell you we have not evolved at all..lol Swordsmith, I agree completely. I do Cardio everyday except Sunday. I lift weights everyday, but each muscle group actually every other day. M-T-W Arms/Legs and T-T-S Chest Shoulders and Back. ABS M-W-F

AHA! YAY! Thanks...:) Bump! lol

LOL....my wife says that every morning...and this past week I was ready to agree. I am still losing inches but not weight. (btw, I dont have periods, lol). Finally after 6 days of up and back I am down 1..not great considering how much I was losing. The worst part? This was my first week on a "diet" where I watched what I…

Im 48. The people working out with me are 42, 43 and 15. On the bike, usually keep steady pace at between 9-10mph and every 5 minutes bump it up to 14-15 for one minute, 30 minutes total. On the treadmill I usually walk at about 3-3.2 and every 5 minutes do 60 seconds at between 4.5-5mph. Right now all exercises are…

Great advice, thanks

YIKES! ok...and BUMP? Dare I ask?

I didnt know I would be here for 2 months and STILL not know what "NSV" , "HRM" or "Bump" is. And who is Tom?

LOL

OK...WHAT DOES BUMP MEAN??? lol

I think I may be about 180 degrees different. I have had people tell me they noticed but when I look in the mirror I see the old me. But my clothes fit so much better (even after going from 38's which were too small to 36 which are getting too big) that I just keep motivated to lose till "I" notice. And since I went from…

Thanks to all of you. Good luck in YOUR goals..:)

Thanks and Go Gators!

Thanks I do too. :)

I live near Austin and its pretty cool (weird) but I DO seriously miss Utah. One of my favorite places!

Well as I said, I was pretty strict in cutting out the good stuff, but it was hard and I saw a great benefit in the beginning. This last week I only lost 2 lbs (which I KNOW is good) but it was a little disheartening after do many good weeks. So after weighing in on Saturday I decided to try this three day diet. So This…

Are you doing Cardio before strength training? I did a lot of research and "most" of them say that for weight loss, cardio first is best. Of course that is probably not the same for everyone, as I said, "Most" of them say that. One thing I would not cut out is the weight training. Muscle burns more calories than fat and…

Thanks. That was the conclusion I reached too (Weight loss is primary till I get to 185) although I have lost close to 4" in my waist and if I can get back into 32's as comfortably as my old 36's (nice and loose) before I hit 185 I will be quite happy and probably stop or at least switch focus. But I have to get below 200.…

Amazing what a missing bit of punctuation can do to a sentence...lol

Wow. Now THAT is something else I didnt know. We've been doing cardio before the lifting. That changes tonight! Thanks!

Great tips. I dont eat diet anything. My fruits of choice are Cantaloups, Bananas and Apples. I will definetely get some yogurt too and start drinking some whole milk instead of 2%. It just seems so counter intuitive that I have to eat more to lose...lol

I never seem to be clear when i write. I dont want to go intobstarvation mode it just appears to me that i am. I dont eat much because i am not hungry. Definetely not anorexic. What i eat is mostly fruit, vegetables and protien. I dont drink gatorade for the calories i just like them. As a matter of fact i havent even…

Well because of Soccer injuries and incidents while in the Air Force, I cant run without it hurting. The only thing I can help is in recovery. Other than icing, the one thing thats helps most are Icy Hot patches. I stick them over the areas that hurt and then wrap loosely right before bed and 9 times out of 10 I wake up…
