Well, I am 6'2", but I have listened to two of them while walking/jogging. I listened to most of DaveC's on a single walking venture.

Wow that's really impressive congrats on the weight lose

Thanks. I'm about 40% of the way to my goal.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Wow! Hope you're staying healthy tourist. Congrats, though.
I haven't lost weight but I'm totally gettin' muskles! My son said "Mama, what's that hill on your arm?" (my bicep!!!) (he's 4, BTW)
I started training for a triathlon this week.

 

[the tourist]

I am being quite healthy. Taking in about 1000 calories a day, mostly vegetables and a little dairy, protein, and grains. I'm walking over an hour daily (I would jog more but I've been getting shin splints from jogging). I'm lifting weights every other day, and working on my stomach for about 45 minutes a day. I'm up to 22 lbs lost in 15 days.

 

[zuropa_fit]

^ Good job. If you stretch your calves before and after, you're less likely to get shin splints - I got them when I started running too.

Don't know what I weigh but I just slid into a pair of size 8 jeans!!!

 

[the tourist]

As of today, I'm down to 220. That's 27 lbs in 21 days.

 

[the tourist]

Now, 29 lbs in 22 days. 218.

 

[zuropa_fit]

OMG Tourist, you're a madman!!! Stay healthy!

 

[the tourist]

Been little lazier this week so far--haven't lost anything. I'm still at 218. Then again, excusable since it's finals week.

 

[the tourist]

Still at 218, but finals are over--I'm taking summer and fall off of school. So I wanna lose 33 more lbs in the next 15 weeks. Kind of a lofty goal, but doable.

 

[the tourist]

Now 216, and precisely halfway to my goal (247 to 185).

 

[the tourist]

213! (34 lbs in 33 days)

 

[zuropa_fit]

Good work Tourist! I'm afraid I won't make my July 1 goal unless I do something drastic! It's my last weightloss goal and I sooooo want to make it but day-um it's hard. Especially since my body has actually gotten used to the 45 min - 1 hour of cardio I do a day.

 

[the tourist]

I bet my body will get used to it, too, soon. I've been walking/jogging between 1-2 hours per day.

 

[diamond]

Tourist-

Great job.

What do you attribute your success in lb dropage to?

<>

 

[zuropa_fit]

Okay, I'm putting this in writing but in a place where probably only Tourist and maybe diamond will see it

I've got two weeks to lose 10 pounds. No rice, bread, pasta. No candy. No chips. One drink a night. 1 hour of HARD cardio a day, none of this half-assed stuff.

diamond. I'm in Tucson. We should hook up on the next tour!

How did I do it? Or why did I do it?

How I did it: Eating more vegetables. Eating less meat. Eating no meals--4-6 snacks per day instead. Eating slower (so as to fill up on less). Walking every day. Jogging some days. Lots of crunches. Lots of weights/push-ups. Drinking nothing besides water (only slipping up twice--a Mike's Hard Lemonade and a Cherry Coke Zero). Eating only when I'm hungry, and only enough to make me not hungry anymore.

Why I did it: I was fat--I used to be fat, and then I lost a lot of weight. Then I put 75% of what I'd lost back on due to laziness. My girlfriend is a ballet dancer and all her guy friends are physically much fitter than me, so that was intimidating and added. Also, I'm back in a band and I gotta get my stage body back. And it was time for my will-power to be tested again, and I've won so far.

Day 2 of Operation Drastic. It sucks. When I lost before it was without really saying no to anything - everything in moderation. But that doesn't seem to work anymore so...

 

[the tourist]

Wow! I've only lost 1 lb in the past 5 days! Yet I've still been exercising as much! Sadly, I've eaten poorer--that's what happens when you go to 3 movies in a week, have a family member's birthday dinner, and go to a baseball game, I suppose. Back on track today and tomorrow, though.

212 (35 lbs in 38 days)

 

[zuropa_fit]

Good for you. Keep it up.

Day 6 of Operation Drastic. Don't know if I notice a difference at all and am scared to look at the scale for fear of getting utterly frustrated!

 

[the tourist]

8 weeks in. Lost 38 lbs. Definitely slowing down. 247->209=

 

[zuropa_fit]

just got back from vacation and although I ran/biked/hiked most days, my mom cooks NON-STOP and I'm afraid to get on the scale. I'm off to the gym...

 

[the tourist]

Hey zufi, any particular reason you're getting into shape?
