Whitford " <Whitford@...> Subject: New Member Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this list for a week now, and started following the program last Sunday. I started out weighing 400 pounds and have lost down to 218.5 pounds since October 1998 to the present. I had been following an 1800 Calorie exchange diet and walking at least 1 hour every night around our local park. May 1, 2000 I joined the gym and started lifting with a trainer 3 x week. I also went to the treadmill for an hour at a time, which is a better workout than trying to walk on a path, as it keeps you paced. On the path you see a goose and slow down to avoid being bitten. hehe I got to the point where the treadmill was no effort and I was just short of running, which I wasn't keen on starting. So, I started using the stair-stepper which is much more of an effort. My trainer also started teaching a circuit training class 2 x week in the mornings, so I added that to my regimen. I started measuring my bodyfat at a local pharmacy when I started the stair-stepping and started out with 23.2% bodyfat and as of 3 weeks ago was down to 21.5% and had a total fat loss of 7.2 pounds over 2 months. I go in Friday for my next monthly analysis. I stumbled upon the body for life method and found it to be a very healthy and logical way to live. I have found this group to be very positive and informative also!! Sorry I have rattled so long. I will be happy to get to know you.
