I have now lost 24lbs (from my heaviest weight, which was in feb. 2007) I had lost like 10 lbs last year, and gained back 3 or 4. Then i started hardcore dieting and working out Dec. 31st. I've been following weight watchers, and working out at least 4 days a week, consistantly.
For my job, we have to do these health assesments and you get monetary incentives for doing them. So i had taken my measurements in Nov. 2007, and my waist size was 33. I did it again about 2 weeks ago, and my waist is now 28. I lost 5 inches!! it was pretty exciting.
I had been doing 30mins cardio and some weight training. Now i'm trying to do closer to 60mins cardio w/ weight training. I mostly use the treadmill at a pretty steep incline.
And w/ weights i'm concentrating on abs & arms. It's so cool to watch your body change and feel stronger. Also i have a TON more energy. It took a while for me to get to the point where i felt more energetic. But it really happens!
Anyways, i wish i had stuck with a good routine a long time ago. Cuz i feel SO much better.
I'm actually lower than my wedding weight now! woohoo!
Cool. Congrats!
I work out regularly and still have no energy. Any energy I get from exercise, is depleted from the stress of raising children. LOL!
