Well, in honor of Fred starting a new biggest loser session, I will give myself some motivation by posting my first 50 pounds before/after photo. I hope to continue to see more transformation as I get back in the game to lose this last 15-20!

The couch to 5K program was helpful. In my opinion now, there is no better cardio than running. I did the elliptical and biking and everything else for years, but nothing worked as well as the the running. Perhaps it was because I was pushing my body to do something it never had. Now, I have gotten off track on it, and I am back to only being able to run about 10 minutes at a time. My lungs sure lose their ability fast. Perhaps that is my asthma? Either way, I will get it back, and that is what I feel worked the best.

But, my weight loss came as a result of implementing proper eating habits, strength training and cardio program that I finally found the right balance and the right motivation here at Traineo with all of you. Itadaki and Fred you two were a huge motivation to me, so thanks!

Congratulations, Jennie! You look fantastic. It's too bad you had to lose your dolphin friend, but they're always pressuring you to eat, like, 50 pounds of fish every day.

Dave,

Sometimes to make a lifestyle change, it is necessary to change who you hang out with. And, although fish is good for you ....well Slappy didn't understand that you had to partake of everything in moderation.

I absolutely love running, but a few minutes on a rower changed my mind about the best cardio there is. The good thing about running is you don't need any equipment, and it's still a great workout. I really, really wish I had a rower though. And I clearly don't need one, if you can do what you did without one!

Cindy, I love rowing! I did that as part of my regimen too when I had a YMCA membership. In fact, there is a great rowing thread on here that I was a part of back when I started rowing because some other members seemed to love it so much. I toned up a TON thanks to that exercise, and it helped my cardio. But, after I left the YMCA, I didn't have access to a machine anymore. Anyway, rowing is great, but you are right - running is versatile...you can do it anywhere! Good luck with your goals, and let us know if we can help in any way!

Oh and to answer your question May... I lost the 50 pounds in about 7 months. I have been at 150 for the last two or three months, and my goal is 130-135. One thing I had to get over was the desire for "a quick fix". Once I got into the mindset that I had made a lifestyle change, it all started working out great. In the last 2-3 months, I have moved and have been going through a divorce, so although I haven't been working out as much, the eating habits I had created still remained. Therefore, although I haven't lost any more weight, I haven't put ANY back on either. It is so empowering to finally know that I am in control of that part of my life no matter what is happening in my life. That means so much more to me than the weight loss. I wish you all the same success.

What a great result Jennie

I'm a newbie to this site, but I've been doing Weight Watchers for the past 15 weeks, and have lost 13.4kg (30lbs) so far. I have 11.6kg (26lbs) to get to a weight I will be happy with, but only 4.6kg (10.5lbs) to get to my WW Goal Weight.

In terms of exercise, I walk at least 1 hour a day. I've just started the Couch to 5km programme, and I think all the walking I do has helped in terms of starting that programme.

I am within my healthy weight range for my height (178cm, 74.6kg; 5'10", 166lbs), and I think the Couch to 5km running programme will definitely help tone up my legs, in conjunction with yoga.

Yes, it is a lifestyle change, and I'm glad I got the help I needed before it became a big problem.

You are definitely on the right track to lose the last 15lbs

To Jennie W:

I'm new here (sorry for my mistakes in English, I'm a Spanish speaker) Well have you tried the JUDDD Diet? Tell me what you think about this diet...I think a "lifestlyle, a healthy one it's better, because it's permanent. But if a healthy eating habits is stablish...will be better. Some people told me about this diet...and I think I will start it soon, just to drop the first 10 or 15 pounds, and then...still combining healthy foods, during the whole process, including the dieting time, eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, limit sugars, I don't drink so...and drink a lots of water, .....Right now I'm not on any diet. My starting weigh was 188 lbs on 05/02/2007 for 5' ft. 3 inches tall. Now I'm in 177, just trying to eat healthy lean meats, fruits, veggies, and walk 5 miles a day for 5 days a week. But I want to know your opinion about it...

Thank you and God Bless!
