This is not really a new post but more of an update. In my article of Feb. 16th, I said that I hit a landmark weight of 180lbs which was a loss of 16 lbs in 9 weeks! Today after my workout I was 177 3/4 which is another 2 pound loss in the last 10 days! Overall, my average has been 1.8 pounds per week since I started my program! What is really encouraging is that the loss has been pure fat because the weight training I have been doing has been adding muscle which weighs more than fat. All the experts say that losing between 1 and 2 pounds per week is a great target for weight loss and one that is very doable for anybody.
Just think….if I keep up this weekly rate of weight loss I will weigh NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP, NADA in a little over 98 weeks from now! Seriously, I am going to start maintaining my weight when I hit a trim and slim, lean and mean 175.
| 175 or bust! |
I think the best part of this last 10 weeks has been that I have been doing it all in the dead of one of worst midwest winters in recent memory. We woke up to 5 new inches of snow this morning which has almost become a regular expectation around here.
Don’t you wish you were here! Have a great day, Rick
