Well it is just over 2 weeks and there were so many positive comments from my last thread and perhaps even inspired a person or two
. Rather than dig up the old thread
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/general-talk/54149-good-news-i-thought-i-would-share.html I thhought a new one was in order for the new me
To Recap - I turned 50 this year and was just over 260lbs. On Jan 4th I started working out (mostly for a trip to Mexico so I would not look quite like a walrus in the water) - I wanted to lose 20 lbs by then (6 weeks ) and I did (a little more than 20).
It has now been 11 weeks (excluding the two weeks in Mexico because the only workout I was doing there was drinking curls
) I had set a goal of 220 and today well I weighed in at 220.
So there ya go folks - you can do. I managed to lose over 40 lbs in 11 weeks. It was achieved with relatively minimal effort , at home. A combination of cardio and weights - it's never too late.
My wife wants to give all my fat clothes to my fat friends (ha-ha a bowflex commercial) - me I celebrated by indulging LBA and CBA. (see Pentax related!)
It's not over I have know I can easily balloon back up - but for today I am celebrating this milestone and plan to never see 260 again!
I know from the last thread others were in progress or wanted to start - I hope you update your status in this thread - it helps to share with others it makes it real.
Edit : Pat I am curious on your update were you the biggest loser ?
