Finally motivated to lose weight

7/1/2012 - Day 1 on my journey to lose weight. After not weighing myself in several months, I was shocked to see me at 320 lbs. Upon seeing that, something changed inside me. Somehow I knew I would not see 321 lbs.

No more 12-18 daily heaping sugars in my giant 4-6 cups of coffee per day... no more buying a pie/cake or box of cookies one day and having my family finish it the next, only to buy another and do it again...no more almost daily pizza/parmesan dinners (or 2) from the ...

7/30/2012 - I've lost 15 lbs in the last 30 days! I've managed to nearly eliminate all extra sugar and salt from my diet. I no longer eat sweets, no sugar in my coffee (skim milk only), I drink only water or unsweeted tea. My meals are much healthier and I'm doing great. I have been going to the gym, with my 14 year old daughter, 4-6 days a week where I do strength/circuit training and cardio 3-4 of those days.

Since I control the meals my family eats as well, all 4 of us are eating healthy and are all losing weight!

I can't explain why I changed this time, but I know it happened when I first saw my weight on the scale. It was the most I ever weighed and I honestly expected to see a number near 20 lbs less.

Yup. I still play WoW a few hours a day, but I've lost 25 pounds this year regardless. I actually do some isometrics while grinding, and I do get up and take frequent breaks. Of course, I don't raid, so I don't get into those hours-long scenarios where you're eating crap and doing nothing physical for long stretches!

Happy to help! Just go to your fitness tracker and choose 'Fitness Setup' next to the date. That should get you started! :)

Id like to invite you to join in my challenge to lose 10 pound in August. The goal is 10 pounds but really u do what u can. The decision to how much is ultimately up to you. i know some of us might be saying 10 pounds? WOW, that is too much! cant do it! But i am here to tell u i did it for 7 months straight, (lost 75 pounds) b4 i got sick with cancer and had dropped out for a yr and a half. if u stay within ur calories that are alotted and if u track everything that passes ur lips u can do it too. I was never one that stayed on a diet before, for more than 3 weeks at a time, and then I'd get discouraged and dropped off. i lost 75 pounds just doing calorie counting and tracking to make sure i never went over. i barely exercised ...i am handicapped and i cant do exercises in the conventional way but i flapped my arms while showering, and sitting did leg raises, went up and down my stairs whenever it struck me to do so. i did very minimal stuff. the idea was to keep moving and i did that. so i know with disipline, encouragement and motivation u can too.. so i invite u to come and join me on my 10 pound challenge! emoticon emoticon
click on link below! or if that doesnt work cut and paste it! please join me on my new journey to begin again!!
