Today's weekly weigh in: 225 pounds

I'm down 4 pounds from last week, down 25 from Christmas.

Here's what happened:

It was a slow week diet wise. I'm still not eating enough. It's tough with work because I'm not much of a pack-your-lunch guy. Still, I feel great. Very alert and focused.

I'm not going too crazy today. Just eating more than usual. Kind of burned myself out last Saturday.

I haven't worked out at all yet and I really need to do that. It's been so cold here though, with ice and snow to boot. Today is sunny and I really wish I could go out for a run (still too icy).

Well, spring will be here soon enough!

    I weigh 229 pounds, am a female, and am 5′9″. My motivation? Turning 40 this August! My 2 kids often remind me how ‘fat’ I am also, I not only need to lose weight for myself, but my kids too. (I actually encourage them to tell me how good I don’t look, it keeps the chips / ice cream at bay)….

    6 weeks ago, I weighed in at 244. I hired a personal trainer and started eating lean cuisine as one meal and cereal every a.m. for breakfast. If I work out in the a.m., I also have a slim fast right after exercising. Dinner is up for grabs, as long as it’s before 6pm. Diet soda and water have replaced my cola’s and juices.

    This trainer has shown me the importance of using every muscle (most I never used before) and to exhaust these muscles every other day. I think she said to use the smaller muscles first, then end with the larger muscle groups. She’s expensive, but definately a motivator that I need!!!

    Anyway, I’ve been under the weather this weekend, but things have been going well.

    I’m glad to have found this website. Good luck to you!

    Congratulations, Linda! and thanks!

    I’ll be 38 on 8/27! Go Virgo! :)

    Have you looked into the Body for Life program? My wife used that in conjunction with a major lifting and exercise lifestyle overhaul. She lost 70 lbs and looks/feels awesome. She is a great example of what clean eating, slow carbs+protein, and lifting weights can do for the female body.

    What a difference!
