I just hit 28 years old and i came to thinking that this has got to stop...this yo-yo dieting and i really have to make a habit of working out...Scott says that if a person works out for at least 6 months consistantly...it becomes a habit...wish me luck...i’m on day 6...that’s six in a row...anyway most of my life i’ve always had problems with my weight...it was always something that came to my mind...i ballooned up to 220....i lost 60 lbs of that but i think i gained another 30....the reason i say i think is because i have not looked at the scale in a long time...i would assume i’m around 190 or 200 around there...i’ll look at the scale again once i feel that my clothes are fitting better...lol i know..i should take responsibility for my actions and face the scale...look at it...the truth in my face but i’m not ready to do that...soon...very soon…
i am motivated tho...i have been working out everyday and trying to watch what i eat...i’m trying to lose at leave 40 lbs...i work out for at least an hr...i do my cardio then strength trainin with weights...i’m no professional but i do what i know…
Welcome, again! I’d weigh myself right away. That way you have a number to go by for how far you’ve come. It does suck the first time you step on the scale, have a shot of tequila ready and just do it. Then in a week, you can see a smaller number and get stoked. And when people ask how much you’ve lost, you have a definite number to tell them.
in a way i want to step on the scale and in a way i feel like waiting because i know i’m way bigger than what i want to be...i know i’m confusing...lol maybe i will...i’ll fill you in asap… kinda scared tho but ok… you guys made some good points…
lol..it’s like i cant believe it you know what i mean...and to think of how hard i have to work to get to where i want to be...i am so motivated and i’m pumped up...i’m going to try that lose 7lbs in 7 days...i just downloaded it and i’m going to try it out...lets see what happens...wish me luck and thanks again…
I finally weighed myself and guess what...i didnt weigh as much as i thought i did...lol but yes i’m still pretty much on the heavy side but slowly and surely it will come down...but my confidence will come back up...sometimes things arent as bad as they seem and i’m here standing at a whopping 192lbs and 5’2...yes...many of my friends tell me i look fine but i know better...they will see a better leaner and meaner...Me...lol
i found the best way (for me at least) to lose weight was not only exercising (that is just a part) but tracking all my foods
I use http://www.fitday.com and it helps me know when I’ve overdone it. I am very honest about what I eat and track everything. I try to keep my calories within 2000-3000 (depending on how much I’m exercising)
Congratulations.... getting on the scales was obviously a big step, but you’ve done it.
And been lighter than you thought.... What a bonus that is.
Good luck on getting the weight down and the fitness up.
I’m sure that you are going to have some hurdles to overcome on the way, but that you will get to where you want to be.
Looking forward to seeing the Leaner, Meaner you.
Way to go on weighing yourself! I’m proud of you, silly as that may sound, I really am. I started at 186, and I’m just 5’0”, the cool thing about being short, you can really see your progress!
today is my rest day...well i’m not going to rest completely just bought me a jump rope that has weights in the handles...and i’m planning on buyin a heart rate monitor to track my progress...i will check out that website also...thanks for the info...lol so i guess i wont completely rest...cant wait to try it out...i have to keep my momentum… =) STAY FOCUSED ctina ...that’s what i have to tell myself.... u guys are the best… i remember being in the 180’s at this point that sounds good right about now to me...lol at least at my weight now...lol WE WILL DO IT...and the abdominal cramping looks like it has gone away when i was doing my crunches...i used to get muscular cramping but i think it was just my body gettin used to the crunches…
