Well here it is, January 28th and I have lost only 7 lbs. 3 more weigh-ins to hit 3 more pounds. If I would have focused more my first 2 weeks I would have crushed the 10 lb barrier. But oh well, I am going to hit it either way. Looks like I will be in the gym until Thursday!
Spyke M Fitness Guru Posts: 387 Spyke M http://anotherfatguy.wordpress.com/ I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired. So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!! Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)	# Posted: 28 Jan 2008 14:33 Hey Rob - 7 lbs is already a GREAT number - keep up the good work and I'm SURE you'll start loving the scale real quick!

I usually loose between four to six pounds a month and now I force myself little higher or lower depending of the feeling. Enjoy!
Dean Grimshawe Fitness Guru Posts: 1182 Dean Grimshawe I work as a Health and Fitness Coach in England. I am looking to network with dedicated athletes and grow my knowledge in this area. Check out what I do at www.warriorcoaching.co.uk	# Posted: 28 Jan 2008 15:22 - Edited by: wayofthewarrior Way to go!! 10lbs a month is a HUGE target and 7lbs is a cracking result. We're all here for the long haul so although I want results yesterday as well as you do, it isn't always part of the bigger plan. Keep it up
Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 29 Jan 2008 16:03 Agreed, 7 lbs is 1.6 per week (4.2 weeks per month), which is a very good rate. It's hard to lose much more than a pound of fat per week. If you start losing too fast, there's a good chance that some of it's muscle. Good job!

Elizabeth Weightloss traineo Newbie Posts: 8 Elizabeth Weightloss This is like my 100th time on my weight loss journey and for once in my life I am serious about it. I came to traineo for extra support and be around a group of people who understand.	# Posted: 29 Jan 2008 18:08 The women at the gym told me the scale changes everyday. Don't get caught up in weight. Thinking about inches, muscles you are gaining, maybe retaining water that day its not just about weight. 7 lbs is awesome. I recently lost 9 this month more than I planned. You just can't let yourself get discouraged. Any weight lost is a great start!
