Monday Weigh-in, 4/30
Weighed in this morning and was surprised at the results. I've lost 7 pounds
since last Monday and I feel great. It seems every day I have more energy. Took in approximately 1700 calories per day during the week and I walked a total of 18 miles for the week and biked approximately 40 miles. I will try to duplicate that exercise this week, but the weather may not cooperate, so likely I'll have to go indoors to the gym. Joe 357/321/220 |

Joe 357/321/220 With the exception of the bicycle riding, it sounds like your exercise and diet program is very similar to the one I started on last October. At some point you may want to consider finding a way to do some intense weight lifting routines as well, every other day. It will help prevent losing too much muscle mass. Feels good to see results, huh? Stick to it and go for it! RCE 260/195/195 |

I try to do some light upper body lifting twice a week. I don't really worry about my lower body since I use my legs so much. Feels good to see results, huh? Stick to it and go for it! It's unbelievable. When I stepped on the scale this morning I could feel the joy when the needle stopped short. I've done many diets and programs, but they never have worked. I guess because I'm doing it my own way and not following some guru it feels more rewarding. Joe 357/321/220 |

In my case food diary helps, I stop myself because I know I am going to be writing whatever I eat. Got myself a food cop :-) Joe 357/321/220 |

ups.com... Good for you. What kinda diet you are on? In my case food diary helps, I stop myself because I know I am going to be writing whatever I eat. Got myself a food cop :-) I'm simply watching my calories (approx 1700 a day) and trying to walk and/or bike every day. I think we try to make it too complicated sometimes. At least that's what I have done for years. Joe 357/321/220 |

Joe 357/321/220 Don't forget, you've already taken 36 pounds off of your leg workout and that amount will keep increasing (decreasing if you look at it differently). Leg exercises targeting muscle retention will be increasingly more important as you lose weight. Trust me, you don't want to lose them then have to rebuild them later. It's much easier to keep what you've already built. -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contacts/cheese.php |

news:tOqZh.271$uf2.37@llnews... Don't forget, you've already taken 36 pounds off of your leg workout and that amount will keep increasing (decreasing if you look at it differently).

It's much easier to keep what you've already built. Good advice. I'm hoping, though, as the weight comes off that I can push my walking and riding further. I'm considering doing some longer rides with a local club. Maybe doing 34 miles rides then working up to 100 - 200 milers as I get stronger/lighter. Hopefully that will keep me at the levels I need. Thanks for your comments. Joe 357/321/220 |

There's nothing I find funnier than the fellas who walk around the gym--biceps and shoulders pumped, chest puffed out--who have scrawny chicken legs. Squat!!! for pete's sake.
