Early success
I have never dieted or really tried to lose weight before. I always accepted my weight fluctuations as a by-product of early menopause and bad family genes.
I can't use that as an excuse for a steady increase in clothing sizes from a 10 to a 16 (and tight at that) over a two year period. It's up up and away if I just keep turning a blind eye to it. I joined a "Choose to Lose" challenge at work on Nov. 14th and we are supposed to weigh in weekly on a scale of our choice, just so it's always done the same. For what it's worth, I don't agree with the way they are running the challenge at work, as the winner will be the person/people who lost the "most" weight between Nov. and Feb. and I don't think it should be the "most" weight. It should be the healthiest weight loss. Anyway... I was 175.5 the first week at the start. Then at the end of that week, I had gone to 173. Last week (Thanksgiving), I neither gained nor lost. Now I am 171.5 lb. The only things I am doing differently is that I cut my portions in half (because honestly, I ate WAY too much before) and I don't do seconds. I also started some light toning and take 5HTP. Imagine what I'd do if I actually exercised! I want to lose 1-2 pounds per week, nice , slow, and steady. Hope to reach my goal of 40 pounds by around April or May.:carrot: |

You can do it, Piscean! :cheer: Good progress so far! Congratulations! Jay |
Slow but steady wins the race, and this is certainly the case when it comes to weight loss.
Congratulations on your progress, Piscean, and keep up the good work! |
You're doing a great job!! That's actually how I got started (minus the at work challenge since I'm not working at the moment, haha). I cut my portions and played tennis 3-4X a week. Now I walk or use the mini gym in my building 5 days a week.
You can do it!! You're off to a great start!! :carrot: |
I'm not entirely in favour of these fastest competitions either but ... ya know what? Sometimes we need something like that to get started.
