TBR Biggest Loser

That is important progress, Thelt. Seriously -- I'm not just blowing sunshine up your skirt. Losing weight is more about getting healthy than getting smaller, and you've made good progress to that end already. Keep doing what you're doing, and the weight loss will come.

 

Thanks for the encouragement. I am actually starting to enjoy the working out. I find myself looking forward to the next time. I decided that I just wanted to get in better shape so I would feel better and be able to do more stuff like hiking. If I do not lose weight then that is OK. Taking that pressure off myself and no longer "living and dying" by the scale each morning has made a big difference for me and my attitude.

 

Down 35# since mem day.....

 

Dang, Meat. Didn't know you had that much to lose. Rock on!

 

I want to lose weight but I don't know how. Can someone give me some tips?

 

Cocaine.

Seriously though, I just cut back to eating a big breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and either no supper or just a piece of fruit or something. Plus working out about twice a week. That's all it took for me. I found out once you don't eat dinner for about week you don't even want it anymore. I also cut back on the soft drinks a little and try to drink more water. I'm down from 245 to 228 in 3 months. I'm 6'5, so most people don't notice much, but I sure as hell feel better, and had to buy new bathing suits and shorts, my old ones were falling off of me.

 

Start out slow because if you deprive yourself too much things will get ugly fast! Pay attention to serving sizes too and try eating every four hours and up the veggies and fruits. Take your furry rug rats for a walk around the neighborhood. They will be better behaved and you get a work out. You guys have an awesome neighborhood for walking in! You know all that stuff though. I kept a record of my weight daily. It was addicting to watch the numbers drop and it was in the back of my mind all day so it helped me not want to snack too much. I’m down 42 lbs. since having the baby.

Anyhoo, Im totally stuck weight wise and I need to drop my last 10 lbs., anyone know how I can shock myself back into losing?

I have no idea what I'm at now. I just know that my muscle tone is completely gone, and I have a huge gut.
