Title: Atta boyz......
Post by raydawg on 06/02/16 at 05:18:28

Well, I have cronicled my quest to get in shape here on the site, and so it goes......
It feels so good to have others notice your new self!
I drink it up....
And at 63 and 1/2, you would think I would be beyond self by now :P

I know deeply in my soul, vanity is a very small part and having it satisfied will never be enough to sustain, therefor, I need to be honest with myself if I am to succeed with this quest on my own "power"

I am solidly in the 2-teens, from 250 plus, and I have only been at it since 01JAN16.
It seems slower now, as the goo just slid off at first, but a pound a week is really good progress, if I listen to the experts on weight loss.

I see this "stage" is like your 2nd year of sobriety when so many rummies like me succumb to the urge thinking they have somehow conquered their addiction.....ARG!

I will march onward, knowing the victory won't be won in one battle....
However, I will accept "atta boyz" and support, as together we can all accomplish more ;D

Peace and love to all,
Raydawg

Ps: it sounded like I did drink again after two years, not so, but in AA it is held as fact this is a hurdle of great magnitude to overcome drinking...

Exercise as much as you are able to (obviously). That goes for anybody! Try to eat foods with negative calories. For example, it takes more calories to burn off a serving of broccoli than what the broccoli provides.

When you first start a diet your body will lose weight very quickly. It will gradually taper off, though, even though you haven't changed your lifestyle. Don't try starving yourself. Your body will go into self-preservation mode and store fat. It figures if the calories aren't coming in then the best course of action is to store fat. Your body is smarter than you think! It's an evolutionary thing. ;)

Thanks all [ch128523]
I am feeling way too good to give up!
The energy I have now was something that really escaped me before...
It was like a vicious cycle of being tired, but not doing anything about it except caffeine energy drinks, coffee, etc.

I pretty much eat the same things, but I set portions before I get hungry, and then I eat the healthy stuff first, it fills me up and I eat less of the "comfort" food ;)

Ray, the weight comes off fast at first because you are losing the fat and water....
Now, it is getting slower because your muscles are getting more dense, thus your weight loss slow down.
Keep up the good work!
I need to start soon... as soon as this spine specialist quits torturing me.
