Subject: RE: Racing Weightgnlking - 2010-06-29 12:24 AM I'm new to the site, and I'm in, as I still have a way to go. I started at about 225 in Feb. and now I'm 210. I still have a gut, but its much smaller. I'm not sure what goal I should set, but I'd like to get down to 195, but don't have a time line - not sure what is realistic. The first 10 pounds came off fast, and my body has changed quite a bit. I think its best to weigh yourself the same time each day and before anything goes into your body - so the morning before you eat is the best time I think. I've checked calories in restaurants and I was shocked to learn how many calories they have, so limit yourself to eating out and check the calories. Even salads have lots of calories because of the way they prepare the foods. Looking forward to keep at it, and glad I'm not alone in this effort.
Great job so far. The more you lose the harder it gets, I would probably set a three month goal to drop the remaining weight, that keeps you at about 1 lb per week which is do-able... And I hear ya on the restaurants... I work in the biz and can tell you even the things you think are healthy may not be... Grilled chicken - healthy right? Not if they use vegetable oil in the chicken pump (solution used to help in freezing and moisture - almost all frozen chicken is pumped) to help keep it moist even when overcooked  |
