Wow, cool thread. I, too, am on the weight loss track. I have been working out (cardio 20-25 mins at upper end of target heart rate) 2-3 times a week for most of the school year, but this summer session (6 weeks) I have been working out 4-5 times a week, alternating cardio with cardio + lifting. It feels GREAT, on so many levels. I hope I can keep this up, since I would hate to slide back.
I have been 130-135 lbs since my senior year of college (7 years ago), and knew I could stand to lose some lbs. Yeah, I know, it's not much, but it was important to me to be able to lose them. I cut out soda, sweets, and chips for the most part, though I don't eat nearly enough fruits and veggies (if at all). So I need to work on that.
But, for my last few weigh-ins (basically, the last week), I have been 128-129 lbs. That's the first time that's happened since college, or since I was sick (e.g. nasty bug in Africa last summer). I would love to simply stay at this weight, or even get down to 125 if possible.
This is for me, no one else.
I probably won't be posting here often, but I wanted to at least get a start. My "accountability" is the push-ups thread, actually... I started out doing 20 a couple times a week, many months ago. Now I am up to 60 a day and feeling great about that. So as long as I am posting there regularly, you know I am on track.
Awesome thread. Everyone keep working... it PAYS.
