Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Hey Y'all, 7 short months ago I weighed 288 lbs. This morning I weigh 193, a total loss of 95 lbs. Last month, I lost 11 lbs, so I'm still doing pretty good in the weight loss, in fact, it's about my average. I lost 15 the first month, and then about 12 lbs a month since then. I'd like to lose about 50 more lbs. My skin is really starting to annoy me, especially in my arms. I see these nice muscles trying to come out, but only to be dragged down by the bat flaps from hell. I still have a lot of fat all around my arms, so I'm not quite ready. My big news is that I've slowly took up jogging, running really, with just a spurt here and a spurt there, jogging to my car, jogging after one of my consumers, etc. So yesterday I got on the treadmill and ran/walked the mile. It took me 13 minutes!!! I was amazed. I had to walk a little of it not because I was out of breath, or dizzy, or anything like that, but only because my ankles and calves aren't condintioned to go running. I got off the treadmill, and I was breathing hard, but not even close to the way I felt after just climbing a flight of stairs 6 months ago. It used to take me several minutes to recover, but now I just breath a little harder, no gasping for breath. Before I really wasn't convinced that exercise was really helping my weight loss all that much. I joined the gym at 3.5 months, having lost 47 lbs. 3.5 months later, I've lost another 48 lbs. In the first half, I was exercising, but now I'm really working out. Some weeks I rollerblade, or do other kinds of exercise, but the cardio and the strength training, I believe have helped me maintain my weight loss. I still continue to be able to eat large amounts of food, but I've been keeping a " mental note " of what I eat, and I've learned that rarely do I ever snack. Generally I have a small lunch, about what a normal sized person would have, and then a nice dinner (mostly meat). I try to get something in my stomach for breakfast, even if it is just a glass of milk. No sodas, no fast food, no fried food, no junk food. I just don't make the same wrong decisions any more. Well, sorry for making it long. Be looking for my 100 lb loss announcement soon! manda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
