This year I made a real push and started exercising at least an hour a day in mid-October. I also started counting calories about a month later. I was clocking in at 285 lbs before I started and now I hovering just over 245 lbs. I switched workout programs at the beginning of February and I've started putting on more muscle, so I'm expecting the weight to start dropping again soon once my body switches from building to burning. I also haven't been counting calories as religiously for the last couple months but I'm sure if I started that would speed things up too. I was aiming for 2200 calories a day before but I think I could up that now.<br />My biggest eye opener was one day I calculated that I had consumed 2200 calories on the day and that 900 of those were from the beer I drank after curling that night. I determined that just by cutting out the alcohol after curling I would lose a pound each month...so I did.<br />Just over three months until the wedding and I'm still aiming to be back to the weight I was when we started dating. Of course, if I'm not close by mid-June I could always put in a couple weeks of Ketosis...Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089585953170665894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212246.post-17546995380714462542011-03-22T12:50:13.006-04:002011-03-22T12:50:13.006-04:00(AM = AnnMarie, btw) :-)(AM = AnnMarie, btw) :-)AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773763836486968268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212246.post-84544243472184295322011-03-22T12:49:12.142-04:002011-03-22T12:49:12.142-04:00Join the loseit club! :-) I'm down 15 pounds...Join the loseit club! :-) I'm down 15 pounds in the last 7 weeks - about 2 pounds a week, just as loseit promised if I stay within the calorie range it gives me. I have the added layer of a cholesterol issue, so I also take note of the fibre I get daily. I have a freakin' long way to go yet, but it's going in the right direction at least. My doctor won't give me "that look" at my next appointment.AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773763836486968268noreply@blogger.com
