Fitness Story

I started out a while ago at over 160 pounds, and 41% body fat. I'm down to about 147 pounds, and 34.8% body fat.

I don't have a lower weight-loss goal, but I will get to 25% body fat and then re evaluate.

The way I'm getting there is monitoring my intake and exercise, and charting the change in my body fat percentage.

There's good advice at Three Fat Chicks.

I'm using the Calorie King Software to chart what I eat and how much I exercise.

I did something very similar last year, going from over 250 to 210 over the course of some months just by tracking calories in/out (I used BalanceLog software, but it's much the same thing). Post-holidays, I'm back again on the "geek diet" (as my wife calls it, as I record calories and stuff in my Palm). Congrats on your loss and reduced body fat, and good luck with its continuence.

Congratulations on the loss and the continued progress! It sounds like you have a handle on what works for you.

I find that when I do my ab workout, I feel really good throughout the rest of the day. BRING ON THE BURN BABY! http://sixpackabsfitness.ruqqa.com/

What a great start, I find that after a good start to your weight loss regime, you begin to draw confidence from your results which give you an additional drive to continue. Having an eating log is a good way to observe what you are eating, where you can improve and in some case where you need to add things into your diet.

I agree that once you're off to a successful start, even small, the confidence builds giving more and more drive. But for me the hardest part is getting started. Great job on your weight loss by the way, keep up the good work!

It is important to set small achievable goals to give you the confidence to keep going.
