I was the heaviest I have ever been and did not feel very good about where my belly was going. I felt heavy, not as much energy and lets face it, just lazy because my body was not used to the weight. I sure did not like the direction I was going with my choices of diet, portion size, time of meals or snacks and all around EVERYTHING.
Genetics had helped me until now but at 42 and having stress related chest pains for the last 2 years, It is NOW TIME TO DO SOMETHING or understand what jepardy I was putting my family and I in.
So here are the facts. I weighed in at 230 about 2.5 weeks ago. I have cut down portion sizes, do not eat after 7 or 8pm except for vegtables or maybe a yogurt to get the snack craving out of my mind and belly, and have little snacks like nuts and chew gum, good healthy dinner with portion size at a healthy level.
After doing that for 2.5 weeks I have lost 10 lbs as of today!!!! I begin the weight training and building part of my program this weekend which will increase my metabolism so the diet and exercise with speed up results after a few weeks of consistency. I am very excited.
I already feel better and it is nice to see the results.
Remember, Consistency and time is a HUGE factor. Do not cheet and you WILL see results. Hang in there.
I am with you Brian. HAve a weight chart with goal of 210 by Sep. Started at 224 now at 219.5. Swimming 40 laps ea day i am home and at least one 40 min workout a day.....but have missed a couple. Now that Randal is gone I will have an easier time. Terrie is already looking very healthy...works out every day 1-2 hours...if you count tennis, Pilates and stationary bike. She is portioning my food..the food police are alive and well. Gerry
