Just wanted to post a picture of my weight loss so far. Just wanted to show yall that is it so possible to get in shape! Here is me in my size 18 pants that fit me very well before I started my weight loss. This in 9 months of dieting. Calorie counting and moderate activity. 210 lbs down to 153 lbs. 3 lbs away from goal weight
Thanks guys. @ EponaLynn, I honestly ate whatever I wanted, but as long as I stayed withing my allotted calories for they day. I would go and eat McDonalds fries and as long as I didn't go over my calories for the day I kept losing.
Wow great job!! Bet you feel awesome now! I recently lost 12lbs and couldn't get over the difference in both my attitude and my energy leaves! Keep it up your almost there!! Posted via Mobile Device
Wowww you lost a lot! It feels so good doesnt it? Lol I used to be 180 now im 160, still trying to loose more but most of it is because im soooo tall. Lol anyways congrats! Posted via Mobile Device
I ate smaller portions so that I would not starve through out the day or get ravenous when it was time to eat. The first few weeks suck, but once your stomach shrinks and gets used to the normal portion sizes you will be on your way. Of course there will be moments when you can't help but to eat like a pig (that time of the month) I just chose low calorie foods so I could eat more without going over my daily calories. Rice cakes where a favorite and they have tons of different flavors, fresh cucumbers were another favorite and are actually quite filling :shock: chicken is low in calories as well. A 4oz boneless skinless breast is around 120 cals. throw some bbq/hot sauce on it with some veggies and rice and there's still room for dessert. For example I'm addicted to those drumsticks haha which are 210 cals each. so for around 500 calories or less you can have a filling dinner and dessert! You just really have to want it and it takes a great amount of self discipline. Oh and you can't forget to cheat once in awhile just make sure after your cheat day that you get back on the track, but once you start seeing results it's quite easy to get back on track
Congrats! You look great. I need to lose about ten pounds to look like that again. I'm short so even a couple of pounds really make a difference on me.
Congratulations! How many calories a day did you allow yourself and did you use a calorie book? I am always struggling with weight and know I need to lose. How did you deal with a sweet tooth?Or if you're a coffee lover?
I used my fitness pal . com. They gave me my calorie limits based on my activity level, height, and weight. I don't have much of a sweet tooth except for that time of the month, but I could eat sweets anytime if I wanted. All I did was tweak what calories went where through out the day.
Bitinsane, That's how my father would control his weight. He had to wear custom made suits as off the shelf didn't fit. He was tall and just right but if he put on 10lbs his suits didn't fit so well so he'd cut back a little on portions and after a few weeks those extra pounds would be gone. The summer he built our cottage he put on 35 lbs and discovered his suits were too big.
Congrats! That is awesome! I've also been on a weight loss journey since I started riding again and I know it's hard work but it can be done and it's totally worth it if it means you can ride better & longer.
