Needing advice on the best way to improve on my routine(1st time at a message board)
Hi I'm Marcie! I'm a 37 year old that starting out at 273 in Jan 06 and I'm presently at 204. I go to the gym on M,W,F,Sat and do 30 minutes on the ellipitical on random level 14. I rotate upper, lower on Tu,Th,Sat. I've been on this exercise regime for several months. I'm eating on the weight watcher point system which in 4 pounds I'll go down to eating 24pts. which is basically a 1200 calorie a day diet. My typical day of eating is
B-eggbeaters,ffcheese,2 bacon in microwave,wheat toast jelly
S-100 calorie treat(muffin)
L-Sandwich+FF Pringles
D-Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, steamed veggies and some type of bean or potato
S-94% FFpopcorn or 100-150 calorie snack
I try to eat as healthy as possible without getting bored of eating the same foods everyday.
I feel I need to bump up what I'm doing to reach my goal of 125-130 by July of next year which gives me 7 1/2 months to lose 74lbs. I don't even know if this is possible. I've been watching the biggest loser and I know if you work out lots and eat less it can be done. I'm just not sure which is the best way to do it with weights and diet. I want to have as little excess skin as possible when I'm finished. I'm willing to work really hard if anyone has any advice. I normally work out at 5am because after spending the day with 24 five year olds I'm beat by 3pm!! Thanks in advance for any help!!
