Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Week 1: New lifestyle successful
It's working.... I'm keeping my calorie intake to an average of 1600-1800/day and getting some exercise. I haven't settled into a routine yet but it's only my first week so I'm trying not to overdue it. I feel better already and the scale is showing a loss although you never know how much is water, etc. I joined Curves last Wednesday, have worked out there twice and finally got back on my treadmill yesterday - felt good to dust it off. Fitday.com has been a big help too. Here's to Week 2! - Amy 221/216/140 > It's working.... I'm keeping my calorie intake to an average of > 1600-1800/day and getting some exercise.

I was a member for a year before switching to a regular gym closer to home. Beverly So far, so good with Curves. I like the interaction and the 30 minute routine... only 5 minutes from my house so that's a bonus too! I don't dread going there like I used to with the big gym - seemed very alone there. Thank you all for the encouraging words! > > - Amy > > 221/216/140 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Beverly > It's working....

Now, it is important to keep going, day after day, etc. i Wonderful progress, Amy -- that's what it's all about -- progress, not perfection! Mary 325-154-148 > It's working....

Keep it up, and keep us posted with your progress. janice 233/179/133 Sounds like you're off to a great start - remember that the even the longest journey starts with a few steps.

I haven't settled into a [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > - Amy > 221/216/140 Week 2 Weigh in! 214 this morning - I've been a little lower throughout the week but am happy to settle at a 2 lb loss for the week. I'm working on getting better use of the food groups. The biggest change has been in bringing my lunch every day but Friday. I'm completely controlling calorie intake by having no other food available. I have had to visit the store downstairs twice but only choose light yogurt so not a big deal, still within my ranges. Went over my 1600-1800 goal a lot one day and a little another day but was a little under it two other days. All in all, I feel good - still need to get my workout routine under control - did 3, planned on 4. Go Week 3 :) - Amy 221/214/140 > Week 2 Weigh in! > 214 this morning - I've been a little lower throughout the week but am [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > was a little under it two other days.

Gradual changes lead to permanent changes which lead to permanent weight loss!

I found that bringing my lunch every day was one of the best things I could do for myself. And I made a vow to myself that if I wanted to eat out, I had to walk to get it--and the closest take out is 10 minutes away. Keep up the good work, Amy.

Same here, I always take my lunch with me, and that allows me to eat whatever I want, exactly as much as I feel is proper, and go home earlier. :) i This all sounds very good, Amy - congratulations!

At this rate, you should be approaching goal in under 40 weeks. sounds like a long time to some, but you'll be halfway there in 20 weeks, and 1/3 the way there in 13 (just avoid the halloween candy!) > Week 2 Weigh in! > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > - Amy > 221/214/140 Congratulations Amy!
