Update on diet

I just wanted to post a short update on my weigh-in today. I weighed 198.5. So, I've lost another 2 lbs in 2 days!

I also got measured today. I've lost 7 inches total. It was mainly in my bust and waist.

I've dropped almost 2 entire pants sizes as of this morning.

My BMI dropped to a 31! That's unbelievable to me.

"Weakling in Training"

I forgot to mention in my last blog entry that I did my upper body workout for the first time today.

I had no idea that I was so weak.

On a couple of the machines, I had trouble lifting the thing with no weight on it, LOL! I also fell flat on my face when this picture was taken. I was trying to do push-ups. Not a good idea for those of you that have biceps where your triceps should be (otherwise known as flappy arm syndrome).

I don't want to get bowed up or anything. I just want to tone up. So, I'm going to keep trying. I looked like a moron doing all those machines with no weight on them. I was surrounded by good looking men. How humiliating.

Now when I do lower body workouts, I do much better. On the leg press, I can lift about 80-100 lbs. That's good for me. I've had knee surgery and am still able to do that much just starting out.

I hate doing the leg curls and calf exercises.

I'm trying to find new ways to tone up the sides of my upper butt. You know what I mean ladies! It's the thing that all our moms call "pones". How do you get rid of those? I hate them! Any suggestions?

"On a roll"

UPDATE:

I went in for a "weigh-in" today at Metabolic. I lost more weight! I'm now at 200.5 lbs. I started at 208.5. So, in 8 days, I've lost 8 lbs. I think that's pretty good.
I've been sticking to my diet for the most part. I haven't been drinking as much water as I should. I am supposed to drink like 64 ounces/day. I drink about 44. That's as much as my body can hold right now. After starving myself for so long, my stomach shrunk. I'm slowly stretching it back out to where I can hold normal amounts of food.
For all of you out there that are thinking about starving yourself to lose weight, it doesn't work if you're over 30! I actually gained weight b/c my metabolism completely shut down. As a matter of fact, I gained about 40 pounds since August. That's how much damage not eating can do. Obviously, it's not healthy either.
Oh, I've also started going to the gym. I've added the "Body For Life" workout routine to my Metabolic diet. So, I plan on going to the gym 4-5 times each week. Wish me luck!
