Losing Weight 101

Sissy · 01-26-2005, 06:58 PM

This thread is for those of us who are getting back into shape but are losing the weight first. (25lbs. here!) We can share ideas and info. as to what we are doing and trying.

Myself, I am mixing low weights with high reps for 20 minutes and 20 minutes of Cardio. Lots of stretching (Yoga) and good Nutrition of course. Thus far, I have been keeping off 1 pound per week in two weeks time? fingers are crossed for more!! I look forward to hearing from the Weight Losers!!!

Hey South Florida,

maybe you could start a "Weight Gain" thread? Although I do have experience in that area!! (LOL!)

You may want to start a journal

starting a journal is a great idea!

also, i don't agree with the "low weight" approach. light weight is a relative term. (what is light to one person is heavy to another). i would suggest sticking with proper form and using weights that are challenging to you. good luck!
