hello, Questions..
I went on a 'less eating' diet about a year or so ago after I got my
blood results back(first time in a while). i supposedly lost about 15 pounds, but i think it was just water weight, as my shape didn't change any. after ab out 4 months, I gained it all back. In January of last year, I bought a Treadmill, and have been using it semi regularly, while trying to watch what I eat. So far, no real change. My new regime is to do 40-50 minute straight sessions at 3.1 mph. Any faster and I get too tired too quickly. I alternate between swinging my arms and holding on to the rails, as I hear you burn more when arms are swung... So far, I seem to have lost 5 pounds. From 265, to 260. I also purchased a Frosty Mug, and am drinking more water regularly.. If this a good way to loose weight? If so, has anyone else tried something similair and how much have you lost? I'm hoping to lose at least 60 pounds in 6 months... Thanks for any info.. |

I also purchased a Frosty Mug, and am drinking more water regularly.. If this a good way to loose weight? If so, has anyone else tried something similair and how much have you lost? I'm hoping to lose at least 60 pounds in 6 months... Back in March 2005 I weighed 268 pounds. The very first thing I did was cut fast food out of my diet - I used to eat it every day for lunch, many times for breakfast and sometimes dinner. I started eating breakfast at home or having cold cereal at work, brought my lunch with me and had dinner at home. I had/have a problem with my legs and had stopped walking because it hurt so much. I was always a very fast walker, and I discovered that I *could* walk again but had to slow down, to about 3mph like you. Actually, I was going even slower than that and worked my way up to 3, and can now do 3.5mph. So, between cutting out fast food and walking as my only exercise, I did start losing weight. I then began to keep track of what I was eating. Watching my fat intake really helped me, but it's different for everyone. Only recently (like, several weeks ago) have I tried any other form of exercise, following some "walk aerobics" DVDs that I bought. I plan on trying some other stuff soon - I know I need to add some weights in eventually but I'm an idiot when it comes to exercise. So yes, I have tried something similar (although walking outside, not on a treadmill) and since last March I've lost over 90 pounds. I've been eating 1300-1400 calories a day, sometimes 1500. For the first 9 months I never felt hungry. Last month I had a couple of weeks when I felt hungry all the time, and I ate a little more. I kept to healthier snacks like popcorn (not slathered in butter or oil!), string cheese, high fiber crackers and lowfat cheese, apples. I log everything I eat. I try to stay in my calorie target range as much as possible. I try to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. I try to drink a lot of water and that's actually the hardest part. Some days I drink more than others. I try to limit myself to 1 diet soda each day, and sometimes a cup or two of hot tea. -- Liz 268-----------173 3/2005 2/2006 |
hello, Questions..
Losing weight is about simple math. More calories out and less calories
in and you will lose weight. it's simple. Count calories, it's not hard and after a few days it only takes minutes to do. First off go here to calculate how many calories you need: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/co...Calculator.asp Next go to www.fitday.com to add your calories. Second add exercise to burn MORE calories in a day. One lb of fat has about 3500 calories in it. The safest ammount of weight one can lose is 2-3 lbs a week. Your goal is reasonable but tough...if you count calories and exercise EVERYDAY for at least 30 minutes you'll be fine. But you have to actually break a sweat and get your heart rate up. |

Also, is non salted pretzels a good snack to have, or should I stick to popcorn? Coffee or Tea. Don't go adding milk or sugar though or you'll end up drinking a snack instead of an appetite suppressant. Popcorn varies quite a bit depending on what it's popped in and pretzels are a simple carb. How about yogurt for women and cottage cheese for men? -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact/cheese |
