Understanding the numbers. Setting some solid goals. Scaring myself into seeing how long this process is, so no futzing around gotta stick to the plan. Since starting a new challenge, this mental thing has to happen. Not to mention I REFUSE to repeat the 4 week plateau from last semester. <br /><br />Yesterday I got a 30 minute HIIT in. In addition to skipping the entire .25 mile home from work. Heh... it was a good work day. :) Thanks for the encouragement.Nanette N. https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624649291231202060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-64179849529690142792012-03-30T08:14:09.214-06:002012-03-30T08:14:09.214-06:00Wow, it's like you came to my Weight Managemen...Wow, it's like you came to my Weight Management class last night! I may have to take some of your ideas for my "homework"! ^_^ We had to make a list of things to do "instead" of eat. I particularly like this one: Before I eat I will...<br />throw away or choose to donate 5 things. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575876115367020423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-84123217914595711272012-03-30T06:21:44.155-06:002012-03-30T06:21:44.155-06:00You've lost over 50 lbs in under a year, this ...You've lost over 50 lbs in under a year, this is awesome! Remind yourself of this fact when you hit plateaus. Your exercise schedule looks amazing, so you know that it's just a matter of time before you'll see the number budge.<br /><br /> Also, sometimes when I do the same workouts I notice that I don't sweat as much, so I either have to increase the weights, or speed, or anything that will make it more challenging: ankle weights, bigger hand weights, walking/jogging faster for a portion of the workout...<br /><br />Try a new workout that you've never done before. There is only so much we can do with food intake, but there is a whole lot more we can do when it comes to exercise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930345643485720190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-4942508586934211672012-03-30T05:07:24.964-06:002012-03-30T05:07:24.964-06:00I SO much admire your positive attitude!

This is really really hard stuff that you're doing! I know it's cliche, but if it was easy, everyone would do it - so take some deep breaths and appreciate the body that's building muscles for you so you can walk all around the city this summer!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-17064465908434224192012-03-29T23:37:50.835-06:002012-03-29T23:37:50.835-06:00Great ideas!

It's like the body doesn't know there are formulas for weight loss and isn't abiding by them.<br /><br />My doctor says our bodies aren't machines, they don't operate on input/output at the same rate all the time. So many things can affect weight loss - stress, hormones, types of food, types of exercise - you are doing ALL the right things.<br /><br />Do not give up (I am not suggesting you were thinking of it...) and the scale will catch up.Enzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960677775063373213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-28293752079746633802012-03-29T14:55:49.021-06:002012-03-29T14:55:49.021-06:00No problem!

As my appetite normalized, I cut back to 2-3 before meals. Now, I can get by with 2. To help me get fuller faster. I may go back to 3 for a while. :)<br /><br />Since you have so much fluid to have with Allan's Challenge (and I keptup with it even after the DDDY were over), why not do 3 glasses before eating. That will help.<br /><br />I also cut my progress BMI milestones in stages. "Get out of severe morbid obesity." "Get out of morbid obesity". "Get out of obesity"....that makes it easier than JUST getting out of obesity, which is a long way down from starting points.
