Down another 1.6, 9.8 total

the thing i like about WW is that it isn't too big on exercise. they assume you're sedentary basically.

So I've lost every week while only working out twice a week. i hope to increase that now that school has restarted.

Nicely done Chef. As much as the stress of school can throw me off, I do agree that the off time really makes it much easier to get down to the gym. I've been attempting to get to the gym first thing in the morning, walking back and forth to campus (about 50 minutes back and forth), and walking after dinner for an hour.. It really feels like I'm making a difference here, and if not then I would definitely have to give this up emoticon

Proud to say that I am down to 194.4 pounds, surpassing the half way mark of my goal. I must admit that losing the weight is easy if you stay focused. 15 pounds in 2 months was due to putting a ban on all sugary foods, junk foods, but still maintaining a relatively reasonable portion size on the foods I do eat (I eat a little more and still lose weight probably because of the walking + weight training). I can recall that I have had only 1 speed bump since I started on St. Patrick's Day where I drunk like my heritage would of called for, but also decided to not allow myself to eat any garbage... I dealt with my hangover with a lot of water and fruits, and avoided the greasy, fried foods I normally would have eaten in such a case. Here's to hoping the next 3 months get me down 15 more pounds to 180 (with graduation around the corner it might be a little tricky, but I am dead focused on my goal. I will get there eventually).

I have been following this thread with great interest. Congrats to you guys that are working hard...the results are obvious. For me personally (I am a work out fanatic) I enjoy some of the other benefits. I sleep better, I am not as crabby, (Personal observation) I just have a better outlook on life. Sounds strange..but true.

What works for me other than the active lifestyle is I cut out booze during the week...completely. I also limit any sodas to one a day....max. On special occasions /vacations I will not follow these things but generally it has helped me in my overall weight.

I hover at 209 from a high of 227 following my sedentary life after my shoulder surgery.

Good luck...and keep going!

Hey thanks Tom. I agree that I have felt all of those positive benefits from working out too including even a better sex drive, which was a nice unexpected side affect.

Limiting the booze has definitely been something that has helped me. Glad to have the additional support from you guys.

Hamels started toward the dugout after what he thought was a strike. Lincecum didn't get the call & buzzed ump Dana DeMuth w. a fastball that slammed off the backstop & then froze Hamels w. another 3rd strike. 4/28/10 Timmy the ump killer.

Re: …


I found a great article on the benefits of water for our bodies too. I sort of had an idea about this stuff, but it is an interesting read nonetheless. I'll summarize below:

Source - http://www.shapeupshop.com/weightloss/water-weight-loss.html

Drinking the right amount of water per day can:

- Increase metabolism

- Flushes out impurities in your skin, which makes you have better complexion

- If you have excess skin or wrinkles, the water can help to tighten it

- Improves muscle tone

- I also read somewhere that the appropriate amount of water helps you poop too! lol so for any of you looking to avoid constipation, there you have it.

Thanks for asking.

It's going well. I'm down 12.6 lbs. I'm still not getting as much working out in as I want. I'm just not a big gym fan and the weather is so unpredictable here in Oregon. When I do go to the gym I prefer spinning classes, but they're only offered at certain times and I'd much rather come home at 5 pm than stick around campus for another hour.

I got on the bike three days last week and lost a full three pounds. But I think I might not do so well this week. Only got one ride in and I'm fight yet ANOTHER Daycare virus that my boy coughed into my mouth.

I'm down to 182. I want to be at 162, but I've always felt my fittest around 170. When I was in the low 160s last time I felt great on the bike, but just kinda weak the rest of the time.

I started mixing in a little 20 minutes of yoga as a wake up every morning. Nothing serious, but I don't think there's a better way to get the body working.
