Who's with me?

Create goals, workout or eating.

What is your desired outcome....

Check in once a week in this thread, how you are doing...

Myfitnesspal buddies anyone? If you don't know that's an app where you track your calories.... I found it very useful... Also using it to track my work outs, and amount of water I drink...

Defying · May 30, 2013

Goal:

Drink 1 gallon of water a day, including drinking 16 oz of water before eating a meal

Eat less than 1725 calories a day (up to one cheat day per week)

Cardio 3 times a week
Strength 1-2 times a week

In 10 weeks my goal is to lose 20lbs.

Reward: If I do, I'm rewarding myself with buying good seats to the Broncos vs Ravens game, its the Thursday NIght Regular season kick off game.. tickets are running $400/ticket lower level right now. Hopefully to find around $300

good luck defying! 15-20 lbs in 10 weeks is a very achievable goal...anything more is unwarranted. if you can swing it, bump up those cardio days to 4-5 and on muscular strength/endurance training days try some circuits with minimal rest in between exercises - get that HR up. you got this!

My weight on Jan 1st was 314, I am now down to 256 and my goal is 200. I had Bi-lateral hip replacements and the a third revision/replacement on the right side and gained 80lbs over a three year period. Decided I was going to get rid of the damn weight ... Half way there! :103631605

Believe it or not, I've lost a little more than 20lbs over the last 6 months by not eating anything past 5 o'clock. I was about 208 now im around 185ish. I don't work out really other than what I do at work. And I only get about 5 hours of sleep a night so that may have something to do with it also

Lost 8lbs. in two weeks

This is because I can be a Junk eater ... bread,cookies, cake, Pizza, Candy ( Choc ) , dry roasted peanuts, etc.

When I Stop all the"Whites" and stop with the others.. I drop weight like nothing.

Strength is nothing... but can't do too much otherwise I will put the pounds back ( even though it would be muscle, and not fat )
I usually wait until I lose about 20

I need more Cardio ... and I would be fine

Muscle won't make you lose weight but weight training one of it not the best way to lose fat.

Losing weight is all mental. Though the secret ket to losing weight is "Fiber."

That's what I said....if I did too much Strengt/weights, it would just add pounds ( muscle, not Fat ) and muscle weighs more than Fat

That's why I need more Cardio

don't think it's a Secret Mob

and that's the problem with probably 70% of people, not enough Fiber in their diet

yea even weight watchers gives you credit for eating more fiber.. they charge less pts towards your daily allowance so its definitely not a secret.

Fiber is far from a secret....And just like anything else, too much of it can be a bad thing.

BostonBettor · May 30, 2013

One of the hardest things about losing weight is keeping the pounds off once you've reached your goal. A couple of years ago, I had to lose weight or go on meds. I came to the sad realization that for me, the only way to lose was to change my eating lifestyle. I cut way back on alcohol, sweets, chips, bread . . .Anyhow, I went from 200 to 170. I'd like to lose another 15, but not sure I'll make it as I still gotta be bad once in a while.

EVERY diet out there includes a "bad once in awhile" feature. Should be once a week. If not, it won't work.

Betallsports · May 30, 2013

All the good diets have cheat Days, once a week.

and yes, the biggest, worst problem is once you go off the Diet... BostonBettor has it 100% right. You just need to change how you eat.

also small portions ... or Smaller portions...

a little trick for your mind..... Most dinner plates are 11" or 12" in diameter ... use a 9" plate

The number 1 cause of increasing obesity in America is Portion Size...
