Shelby Weight Reduction

[Alloy Dave]

Congrats to JL and Heidi !!!
:woot:


Keep it up John. You are doing the right thing by allowing yourself a "pleasure" once in awhile, just keep them infrequent and you'll continue to lose weight.

I've been on my diet since Sunday and have lost 5 pounds. 5 more to go.

1 hour on the treadmill/elliptical 5x a week, and the main area I excel during diets is eating less and more healthily...I can really focus if it's for a short time. No meat this week, no sugar, no grains, and no alcohol. Veggies and fruits is all, with a little soup broth.

I'm learning to maintain also...even before I lost this 5 pounds, I was 25 pounds lighter than I was 3 years ago. After I lose the next 5, I'll take a break for 6 months, then go back for one more time to get to my "ideal" weight. I don't plan to be as skinny as Grabber, but good enough for me.

Good news Dave. Maintaining is the key.

[Alloy Dave]

Reached my interim goal for one week...the most difficult. Lost 7 pounds in one week...only 3 more pounds to go. I'm now adding in a bit of protein and carbs, so the weight loss will reduce...may take me another 10-14 days to lose the 3 pounds.

I also bought a new belt.

Nice work Dave. Maintaining is a job in itself. I kind of cheated this week a little. I had 2 graduation parties to go to and my mom made us super good brownies. Plus we went to the rose fest and had some good food. So anyway...I put on a couple pounds this week. I'm still working out everyday so I figure I deserve to splurge now and then. My body fat is under 11% now.

Had a great week of working out at 24 Hour Fitness Monday - Thursday. I hit the hills at my house Fri - Sunday running 5 miles each day. Just finished knocking out 5 miles. I must say that my body sure feels good these days.

Grabber, how did you go from 22% body fat to 10%

I was using the wrong setting on the scale. It has 2 settings. One for normal people and one for people that do more than 12 hours or more per week of aerobic activity and has a heart beat of 60 beats per minute. People like this need to have the setting on "athlete" mode for most accurate results.

I work out every day...so I changed the setting to athlete mode a few weeks ago. Now the scale is reading my true fat.

Well done Rob!

I met my goal of 8 pounds last week and am now on a "maintenance" diet.....Basically I eat anything I want some meals, and really curtail on other meals. In the fall I'll do another weight loss effort to get to my final goal...another 6-7 pounds and I'm "good to go".

[GRABBER]

Keep up the good work Dave.

I put on 2 pounds this week. Muscle and Bodyfat has stayed the same...so that's great.
