I’m Losing Weight.
I have been eating right for the last 8 weeks and lost 20lbs in six weeks just eating right with no SODAS.. So last 2 weeks I have been walking to build my physical stamina and started with just 1mile in 30minutes I have now crossed the 2 ¼ mile mark in 35minutes that’s approx 3.7 miles and hour.

I lost 20lbs before I started walking. My knees would not have made the exercising good @ all !

I Feel Great and have lost 30lbs to date… Just thought I would share "my so far success".

I started @ 258.5 lbs and now 228.0 lbs

That is great, Tim! I lost several pounds three years ago so I can relate to your excitement. Keep up the good work!

Good for you...but in case you need it, I'd be glad to give it back!!! I have found it!!

2 years ago I weighted 275 and now I weigh 245. No exercise at all, just portion control (well some what). I still drink my coffee everyday with 17packs of sugar. If I was to cut that I am sure I would be losing weight faster.

But me having a muscular build (thanks marine corps) and me being tall 6'4" 1/2 helps me look sort of thin.

thats awesome Tim... I too havea COMPLETELY changed my eating habbits...

instead of devouring 4000cal from deep fat friend Jack in the Box Tacos for lunch, I now snack all day... and have Turkey Sammiches on whole wheat bread for lunch. I've lost about 15lbs in a month and a half just by doing that.

WAY TO GO!!!

I've been struggling with extra pounds myself and I fluctuate back and forth. My biggest problem is eating right and portion control. I have a tendency to make excuses for myself too.

Congrats on your weight loss.

Congratulations and keep up the good work.

What, no before and after photos? This is TPF, after all. :-)

Isn't it great?! You probably already know this, but be prepared to make exercise and eating right a lifestyle. If not, the weight will come back. Been there, done that.

tim, keep up the good work - good luck and stay at it
started out at 215 last july, now down to 178~180,
4 days a week spinning, 1 day yoga, 1 day road bike ride 25miles.
healthy food choices all day (most of the time). being a vegetarian has been hard to understand right protein intake, etc, but now i have a good handle on that as well.
its now a routine.

[srwatters]

Great job! Keep it up.

I try not to get as caught up with my weight in lbs as I am the way my clothes fit (or don't...). Even at barely 6' tall, my lean body mass alone weighs more than the charts say I should weigh in total. I'm currently tipping the scales at about 245#. Using a standard BMI measure I am @ 33.2 (clinically obese). While I'm no stick, I hardly think of myself as obese (maybe others do...).

Point is don't get real hung up with the numbers. They are all based on 'average' body types. The fact that I swim 2 miles in 70 minutes, three days a week combined with healthy blood pressure and low heart rate means much more than actuary tables IMHO.

Way to go Tim!

Sounds pretty close to me...6'1" and about 240 right now. I hit a max of 250 back in college and have fluctuated in the 225-235 range mostly, but now I'm at 240 and need to do something about it. I'm planning on taking up running or a lot of walking soon. What kind of diet are you following?

[Breezy]

Tim that is AWESOME!!!!
Care to pass some motivation to me?
Seriously I did not want to go home fat lol. but it looks like I will be :(
Again way to go :D
