Biggest loser on CF.....

Maybe make sure you intake 1300 calories to be safe? And increase that if you continue to lose more than 2 pounds per week. BTW, the 90 minutese 5+ days a week is really impressive. That has been the goal I have been working towards for years, and I have never made it.

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement! I have had issues with commitment since my husband passed away 3 years ago, but this year I decided....I've just gotta do it. So on January 1st I joined the gym, hired a personal trainer for 1 day a week, and the only time I haven't gone is when I was really really sick. I went even when I was sick, but not when it was so bad and in my ears. But other than that I've stuck to it. Kind of afraid not to, plus I enjoy it and I feel better about myself. AND I'm finally starting to see little cuts in my arms thru the fat lol. Hopefully by the time I turn 50 next year I'll be smokin' hot lol. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement.

hit the treadmill a second time today.

another 45 mins, so 870 cals total for the day.

What I like best is I'm bouncing around between 219.5 and 221 lbs, I was 224 when we started the discussion.

Woot! Since I last got weighed at the chiropractor (was that 2 weeks ago? ) I've lost another 3 pounds!

Don't way yourself every day, btw, as there are natural variation due to all kinds of factors. Better to way yourself once a week at the same day and time (and try to do the same stuff in the 12 hours or so preceding the weigh in). I never really followed this advice, but a lot of weightloss people make it.

I am going to do heavy core exercises again today, I am aiming to do 400 lbs for squats. Also will do some benchpresses and deadlifts (just did these for the first time on Monday, I am not too great at them just doing 90 lbs).

I never really followed this advice, but a lot of weightloss people make it.

I usually weigh myself twice a day (AM/PM) then get a range and a 5 day moving average and try to lower the range and track progress that way.

The daily stuff can be rough for some people, but that once a week bit makes no sense to me because I'm not looking for a week to week change, more like an overall trend.

Based on the way I'm doing that, when we started this thread I was around 224, now I'm in a range of 218-221.

My next goal is to be in a range of 215-218 in a couple of weeks.

 

[JonMiller]

If you do the measurement in the same conditions, then it should (in a month to month sort of thing) give a correct trend. Your method will work also, it is just a lot more work.

[Spicy McHaggis]

yeah, "same conditions" is tough for me though.

plus I'm a bit of a freak about charts/graphs.

Yeah, where has Coach been? It's been like, really, really windy around here, I hope he didn't blow away.


(Btw, really really windy in OK= Hurricane force winds. If Coach were here, he could back me up)

Make that 4.

I won't lose much, since I'm already lean. But I will play anyway.

Ran about 8 miles yesterday in 87 degree heat. I love running in hot weather.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Well, I took a trip to the ER on Friday night.

Kidney Stone number 4. This one is between 2 and 3 mm.

So I had nothing but an I-V, water, juice and vicodin from dinner on Friday up until lunch on Sunday.

I'm sure I lost a pound in there soemwhere.
