Loose Weigh...Gain Goals! South African

Welcome Diller... although I've been away from the site, this is a very supportive place to be. The only thing that WE cannot give you is the actual effort of doing what you set out to do.

I am a firm believer of the 'if you really want to do it, you will'.... but I also understand that we as humans have the tendancy to get frustrated [possibly a little impatient] and this is when we momentarily give up our goals. Believe me, I am still struggling to get back on the boat.

The advice that I can give you is to log and document everything. Although it may be a pain in the shoe lace at first, after you get used to it, you'll be able to see every small bit of progress that you have done. THAT WAY, in moments when you want to give up, and moments that you feel that you haven't gotten that much closer to your goal-- you can turn to the log and see how far you've gone.

Good luck with this Dillard.... and I hope I've helped [despite the ramblings]

Welcome to BT!  You'll get plenty of motivation here!  Use the logs to track your progress.  Look into some group workouts.  And post here if motivation is lacking - we'll give you a boost!

Thank you for the support.... I did print out my couch to 5K - 4 month program.... I am going to do it....!
I'll make my logs today but right now I am going to get on to start my first day on the program.....

Have a NICE Day...

How was the very first day? I know I'm just starting out all over again, so I can imagine how excited you are. I hope you continue with this... that program gives me no possible excuse to come up with... I just keep reminding myself "where there's a will, there's a way" Keep us posted!

Keep on, keeping on! :0)

Good Morning you all!

Thank You Roxx, gr8brindle and RON..... I was not on the site for quite some time! And I did not start my program yet...did it for like a week and then I got my WISDOM teeth pulled! Ever heard of a dry socket! Still got it!
Living on those pain pills!

Thank You for your motivation! I guess since I loose all the weight I can do this too! That is on my goal list! :-)

Thanks!

Hey there Diller,

I always find it funny when I hear about someone who is complaining about being overweight at my approximate goal weight.

Anyway - welcome aboard. The long and the short of it from an exercise standpoint is nothing will burn off weight like the bicycle. I like running, I like cycling and I hate swimming - but one thing is a certainty one hour on the bike will burn off more calories that one hour of the other two.

There a plenty of people tri-ing for weight loss here there is even a forum just for us. The only thing I would strongly suggest is that you start maintaining a training log with detailed notes about what you are eating each day and the exercise you are doing.

Take care.
