Weight loss encouragement thread I just thought it might be an idea to have a thread on here acting as a kind of support group for those of us that are actively trying to lose weight. another forum i was a part of a while ago ran one, and it was great, with many people posting tips, or just weighing in weekly.
Mrs P and I are trying to at the moment. a few different things sparked our current goals, one of which being a wedding, the other being our health.
We found a good site that you record your eating habits in, and it keeps track of calories, exercise, and all that. i won't post a link in case it's not allowed, but i will after i make sure it's ok.
So My first weigh in,
Mr P - 5'10''
Starting weight - 325lb.
most recent weigh in - 303lb.
Changes made- started measuring food portions, stuck to a rough, 2000calorie a day intake limit (except saturdays), walk the dogs more often, treadmil for 30 minutes - twice a week. aqua aerobics for 45 minutes twice a week. |
