The title kind of sounds like a soap opera doesn't it?
Hi, I'm new to this forum (only been here a couple of days) and I wanted to start a thread to post updates of my progress through this new idea I'm trying for losing weight.
If you want to know a little more about me, I have an introduction posted in the introductions area titled "Navy guy in Japan" (sorry, can't post links yet).
If you want to know if this works, keep reading as I post updates.
O.K., what I have already been doing to lose weight:
Stopped drinking soda.
Drink at least 100 oz. of water (usually more) every day.
Eat some kind of breakfast (low fat/sugar) (never ate breakfast before).
Eat a healthy lunch (I used to eat fast food every day for lunch).
Eat a normal dinner with my family, but cut down on portions.
I have been doing this, and running a lot...and lost 10 pounds the first month. Normally that would be good, except that it was 8 pounds the first week and 2 pounds for the following 3 weeks combined. It's the 2 pounds in 3 weeks that has me wanting to try something different.
I started at 198 pounds and a month and 11 days later I'm still barely under 190 pounds.
What I have decided to try:
Alli, the only weight loss pills approved by the FDA...I'm hoping that means it works and is safe. The over the counter pills are half dose of a prescription medication that has been shown to work for a long time...so I'm hoping. Without going into nasty bathroom details, I'll just say it seems to be getting rid of fat pretty good so far.
I'm also trying the Beach Body Insanity workout. I started it yesterday and just did the fit test (which was still pretty hard). I'll be doing the fit test every two weeks to see how much I am improving. I'll definitely post updates after each fit test, and probably some in between as well (especially to say how hard it is...
).
I can't post a signature, picture, or even a link yet...but when I can I'll try to get a progress of weight loss ticker up at some point.
