Title: A New Milestone for Me! Post by: indianasmith on October 23, 2018, 06:25:15 AM As of June 1 last year, I weighed in at 279 pounds.
My clothes were too tight, I tired easily, and I hated what I saw when I looked in the mirror. My wife suggested that we try a diet plan called Whole30 for a month and see what happened. I dropped 27 pounds in six weeks. We've continued to eat Whole30 at home, and simply watched our portions and cut way back on sweets when we eat out. I was worried with the stress of the school year that my weight would creep back up after I went back to work - but it hasn't. As of this morning, I weigh 236 pounds. 43 pounds lost! And I still get to eat most of the things I enjoy, too - just smaller portions and, with some things, less often. But today - I'm celebrating! Chocolate chip cookies for breakfast, then back to healthy stuff for lunch and dinner! 220's, look out! I'm coming for ya!!! :teddyr: :bouncegiggle: :drink: Title: Re: A New Milestone for Me! Post by: The Burgomaster on October 23, 2018, 07:32:41 AM Congratulations, Indy! My weight has been on a rollercoaster ride for the past 30 years. Every few years I go on a fitness kick and lose 20, 30 maybe even 40 pounds. Then I gain half of it back. Then I lose a little. Then I gain more. In 2012 I was at 181 pounds and working out almost every day. About a year ago, I was up to over 230. Now I'm at about 220. The struggle continues . . .
