I helped my friend lose 25 pounds

Lifestyle Health & Fitness
1

It seemed unlikely because she had EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK but I am so proud of her. She looked awesome on wedding yesterday.

She lost the weight in 14 weeks. She is 5,2 and she was 142. Now she is 116.

Just wanted to share her success story and motivate people to know that its doable.

How she did it -

  • commitment to drink water (ditched juices, soda)
  • commitment to 25 minutes cardio a day (rain or shine)
  • strength training
  • watched her carbs (she just couldn’t do atkins or south beach but stuck to whole grains)

prototype - sure - I am helping few guppans attain their fitness goals. I guess I have had up and downs with weight all my life so I am in a good place to advice.

I knw being a really busy mom myself - it's so hard but I think it's worth the effort.

I am thinking about putting a summer fitness GS challenge together - I hope Punching Monk can help.

njgal, I've lost 6lbs the past month as well. Working out was limited to Wii Fitness but carb control was the main thing. I don't drink sodas anyway so that was no big deal.

That wii thing really works ?

I thought the speed of movement is to slow. I only saw it in a mall.

PM it's good for people like me who aren't that gym savvy I guess.

Re: I helped my friend lose 25 pounds

But you know you can adopt a different approach. As I said before go fitness oriented,
Buy light wight gym equipment + some out doors. Like every year you know you are making progress in athletic abilities. Rather then staying at same level and losing extra lbs.

I will try.
But you put the plan in way which is easy for every one to follow.
Good job.

Niksik, I am glad you are using your Wii, mine is collecting dust under the table as predicted :D

I have lost 4 lbs over one month (lost 6 and gained 2)

At the end, it comes down to how much you eat :( and yes I want a Samosa too!

Oh jeez we're all in for it!
I say we ban samosa's

Sid - you're not going so bad you're supposed to have a 2lb loss per week.
You're just slightly behind where as I'm off the horsey all together

raise you hands; who want to lose tummy and build leg muscle.
AND have a big back yard.
AND not shy of doing some experimenting.
