Hello fellow FFR members. Happy March 1st, 2011. I am taking the initiative today to get back into shape.
Since I have graduated In December I have stopped going to the gym. I have been fairly active since I have adopted a dog and he likes to go running with me, but it has not been nearly as regimented or intense as my workouts before. I have stopped swimming, stopped cycling, and I have stopped weight training.
It is extremely hard for me to get below this particular weight, I literally have to exercise vigorously almost daily. Even then, when I do exercise, I put on muscle weight very quickly and the number on the scale often does not change. I am not doing any gimmick diets, or starving myself. It is merely putting myself on a simple cut calories and stay active plan.
If you wish, you can jump on the bandwagon and join the weight loss effort with me, whether you want to lose 5 pounds. 15 pounds, or 50 pounds. It's completely up to you.
I am holding myself accountable and putting my weight on display as a motivator to lose the extra five to ten pounds that I can do without. Now, it's easy for people to sugar coat their weight by just typing in a number, but I will be posting a picture of my weight now and one week from today regardless if the number stays the same, goes up, or goes down. You can either encourage me, insult me, or completely ignore this thread.
At 136lbs I am at a BMI of 23.3. While at a healthy range, I am somewhat close to borderline overweight. I would much prefer to have a BMI in the 22 range which would put me at a weight of about 128lbs. Keep in mind that I am female.
TLDR: Rubin0 would like to lose weight. Wish me luck.
Week 1:
Week 2: 1.6lb weight loss
