I started dieting a bit over 5 years ago. I was already doing a lot of lifting (including some competition), but only a little (and half-hearted) cardio. When I decided I wanted to lose weight I added in more cardio and began counting calories. My weight went from 262 to the 130s in 2 years, and I've maintained since. I continued calorie counting until about 6 months ago; now I just eat the way I had been but don't weigh and measure food or record calories. I started doing yoga about 1 1/2 years ago, and started swimming this summer. Currently (if we're not traveling or something) I lift and do yoga 3x/ week, run 3+ miles 3x/week, do cardio hip-hop on Saturday mornings, do some mountain hiking, and swim 3 or 4 times a week. (I"m retired now, so have more time for this stuff.) I haven't lifted competitively for a few years (mostly because my coach moved away, and because it always made me really nervous and without him pushing me I'd just really rather not :-) ). I'm not nearly as strong as I was when I weighed 262, but I'm stronger than most women my age (59). Chris 262/130s/130s |

This has higher fiber content than most oatmeal, and makes a fairly generous serving. I pour the packet into a bowl, stir in some ground flax seed and splenda, and sprinkle in some dried fruit. I then add the water. (I add 1 cup, a bit more than the package recommends. I think it's needed with my other ingredients to give the right consistency.) Then I scoop a spoonful of natural peanut butter out of the jar and drop it in. Then I microwave for the recommended 1 minute & 45 seconds, which pretty much melts the peanut butter. Then I stir it up. I love it :-). Chris 262/130s/130s |
