Well group, I've reached my goal.  Now the hard part-toning it all up.  I
haven't been on the treadmill for months, and I have no place to set it
up(inside my house, anyway), so I have to figure out a way to either get it
set up out in the shed and run an extension cord into the house to turn it
on, or start walking up and down our road.  I know I should have been
exercising all along, but I don't really like to exercise.  The dieting was
the easy part, compared to what I know I have to do now....:)
I just want to say thank you for all ya'll have done to help me & encourage
me along the way, this is a great group of serious "losers".......:))

I use webshots.  I haven't put any pictures up since I regained the weight
and am now trying to lose it and down to goal weight.  What weirds me out is
that my photos have been downloaded 3 times.  I could see maybe downloading
the pictures I put up of Palo Duro Canyon but they downloaded the ones that
are of me and family/friends.  My user id at webshots is hppster.  Btw, I'm
sure that while you may have fat pics, Deb, that you don't look "disgusting"
in any of them.  Ig is just being Ig.

He's the disgusting one, and a perv. Personally, I would never put pics here
where he could see them. He wants women to post their pics a bit too much.

Wow Debby,

 I'm so proud of you for reaching your goal.  WAY TO GO!  Exercise will
make you feel better and reduce you risk for certain diseases that can come
around.  I hope you get on the exercise bandwagon.  You can find something
that is enjoyable I'm sure and stick with it.

Congratulations again,

Paul

Congratulations Debby.  You must be very proud of yourself.
But I do agree with you, I've always believed that when you start the
maintenance journey you are starting the hardest part.
Hope you'll continue to post here and tell us how you get on.

Thank you Janice!  I am pretty pleased with my progress.  Now I need to stop
losing weight, and start gaining a little muscle to help get rid of some of
that saggy skin I have now.  I still have kind of a poochy belly though, I
think I need to do alot of crunches to help tone that area up.
I will keep posting here, I've made some friends here!

Congrats Deb!  Take advantage of going outdoors to exercise if you can swing
it.  The sunshine and fresh air do make a difference.

Congrats!

I think you'll find that the more you exercise, the more you'll like it.  I
feel "uncomfortable" now, if I don't get to exercise.  For me, now, I only
use the treadmill if I have to, like it's pouring rain, or 10 degrees out.

I picked up running by getting bored walking on the treadmill.  Now I run
outside, 4 miles everyother day, at 5:00 AM.  It's SO much more interesting
to run outside, the time passes MUCH more quickly.

Nothing wrong with walking though.

I also picked up a gym membership.  Go there three times a week (down from
6, now that it's not so cold).  I used the $500 that I plopped down in the
beginning as incentive to go, otherwise a wast of money.  Now, I WANT to go.

With regard to keeping the weight off.  It's been pretty easy so far.  I've
been maintaining for 4 months now, but I think the exercising helps.

Good luck!

Jeff

From what I've read, it's fairly easy to lose weight without
exercising.  Just eat less.  The problem is keeping it off.  Most people
who successfully MAINTAIN a weight loss use exercise.

It makes sense.  Your body will preserve metabolism-boosting muscle if
you're doing weight-bearing exercises and be more likely to lose weight
from FAT versus muscle.  That means that your resting metabolic rate
will be higher when you're at your goal weight if you exercise.  That
means you can eat more without gaining weight.

Well, welcome!
I know I should have been exercising all along, then I wouldn't have the
loose skin and slack muscle tone that I have now, but it's not too late for
me to start an exercise program.
Basically, I just tracked what I ate every day, and kept my calorie intake
under 1200 calories per day.
Good luck to you!

That's exactly the tactics that I followed and reached my goal. However, I
admit that if I exercised a little, it would be easier to maintain my
weight. So far, I managed to stay more or less at my target weight since
about the middle of last December.

Congratulations!  I don't track what I eat online anymore, but I still eat
the same things I ate since I started the diet in August...  I just can't
seem to start eating new stuff, I guess i'm scared I'll gain the weight
back......
