Thread: My battle with being over weight 10/31/11

Had a great work out today. Shoulders and Biceps. Getting stronger and stronger and much better form. It kills me I went all summer being miserable wioth myself. I feel so much better now after 3 weeks I only wish I started much sooner.

Bottom line is diets do not work long term, what you should be doing is making a life style change.

Forget the crazy fad diets and just eat better, that with regular exercise will make a dramatic change in your fat level and LBM.

I agree with the lifestyle change to begin with I just counted cals, cut out junk and added healthy foods. Now that I better understand I control protien,fat, and carb levels and get plenty to eat in a way I can do for rest of my life. Keep up good work

Had a great workout today. Strength was there and felt great. Down another 5 lbs since saturday for a total of 21 lbs.


Felt so good I treated myself to a bagel for breakfast. 1st bagel all month......Im used to two a day.

If I eat carbs I like to eat them @ night If i eat them early in the day I get hungry!

Doing great! Keep on with the plan Built did a very nice job explaining the carb / fat burning switching

21 pounds is awesome don't get discouraged about that scale

^^This. If you want a bagel, have it at night. You'll find you're more comfortable - it won't turn on your appetite and lead you to overeat all day.

Amen.

Thanks for the words.....Well , Thanksgiving lasted 4 days but Im back at it and back in the gym today for a great shoulder and biceps work out. Not stepping on scale for a few days.

Another good cardio work out today 40 Minutes on elliptical and 15 on bike , getting easier and easier and feeling better each passing day.

Did a chest and triceps workout today and all went well except my triceps were burning badly and got fatiqued at the end badly......Chest strength is getting better and better.

Had a great leg and back workout early this morning , really stuck to the plan this week after a 4 day Thanksgiving bender and good results. Im down 3 lbs this week for a total of 24 lbs this month......feeling better and better everyday

24 pounds, nice job Monty!!

Thank You very much....To be completely honest , I know its only a month but all the great advice I get here with just sticking to the plan really works well. People explained there will be speed bumps in the road , there will be hiccups , just get back on track asap and follow the plan.....Thats what i have done and its worked great so far.

It is what you do 95 % of the time that matters. try to plan ahead for Cheat meals and Holiday meals. enjoy them and get back on the wagon ASAP. enjoy life enjoy your journey to a healthier you. make it a plan for life

Keep up the good work

You're handling the speed bumps just fine Monty, 24 pounds is great. Remember, its a marathon and not a sprint. Be in it for the long haul!!

Keep ot going bro!

Just did some cardio over the weekend and doing same today. Did something to my shoulder and im nervous to hit the weights until the pain is gone. It's funny how much easier 45 minutes on the elliptical is now from when I first started.

When I started riding my recumbent trike 1-1-10 I could barley go 11 MPH for 10 minutes. last Sunday I rode 42.25 miles @ 14.6 average! You get there! Take it wasy on the shoulder and do legs work around it for now
