You can do it — it’s a mater of calories in and calories burned. Metabolism helps with the latter, and muscle building speeds metabolism. Aaron, you looked great at the conference, you must feel a lot healthier too!

Carolyn, I’m with you — I always come close to my goals then “treat” myself because I’m doing so well… then before I know it, I’m back into resolutions again. I have 5 more pounds to go… and I’m GOING to get there this time. Before the beach.

Let me know know how you’re doing! And when you reach the goals!

I did it. But I wasn’t done. Still have 20 to go, and instead of losing 20, I have succeeded in letting 10 creep back on, this despite regular, intense, and varied workouts.
So, I reset my goals. This time for 10 pounds by mid-July. Started a new eating plan today and determined to keep the food journal, which was a major key to my prior success. I don’t like it, but nothing else seems to work.
So…my new reason: This summer’s family reunion is AT THE BEACH…which involves shorts and sleeveless shirts and, horror of all horrors, BATHING SUITS! I refuse to be the heaviest woman there.
I’m already healthy…eating right (no fried, no fast food, no transfats, no red meat, etc) and good cardio and weight routines, but still over my acceptable BMI. So, the last 20 pounds will have to be for vanity’s sake.
Nothing like discussing resolutions to lose weight in the middle of May instead of on January 1. This is when we all realize that the January promises aren’t working.
