Hey Alex,

Well done with the progress so far! I’m similar to you in many ways – only a few cm higher and a few kgs lighter, with almost the same goal for the ideal weight

It will take longer than few weeks, but I know I’m going in the right direction so it’s only a matter of time and self-discipline.

Good luck!

You are inspiring!

I need to do the same.

You have spurred me on to do something about myself being overweight!

[...] the world. Anyway, I got a bit out of shape, which you can see I’m remedying with the weekly weight loss reports. Basically, I ran about 7 times in preparation for this race, as well as attended spin [...]

Congrats Alex,

You are doing so well,raise your right hand in the air and give yourself a big pat on the back. I lost 4lbs this week so I feel great too , after staying at one weight for weeks.
Now if I lose 2lbs a week I will be ecstatic
I understand the frustration of going from 13lb loss to only 1.5lbs, remember the 1-2lb weight loss each week will stay off

Keep going

Suzie

Hi Alex,

I find this really interesting! The only thing I would say is to not push yourself too hard. You want to get on a sustainable plan that you can do long-term, not something where you’ll fall off the wagon later.

I started exercising 3x a week about a year ago. Although my weight has stayed the same, I now have more muscle and less fat. Most importantly, though, I feel a lot better. I have more energy and don’t get tired as easily. This is sustainable for me, and although I hover on the border of “overweight” (5′5″ – 150lbs), I feel fine.

Congrats Alex! 13 lbs total is great, and 1.5 for the second week is like you said – an honest fat loss, no water weight

Good work and a nice detailed update. Hope your back gets better soon.
