 You should rest instead of working out when you are sick. Don't worry about missing work outs, the most important part about losing weight is your diet anyway ^^ GLHF! | ||

I'm starting a 60 day program (Insanity by Shaun T) and I'm hoping to lose about 10 pounds or so. I'll let you know how it goes! | ||

I'm down from 315 pnds to 310 as of weighing myself this afternoon. That could be entirely water weight. I have about a 5-10 pound variance in even my weight (which is very light). I think would what would help you is to set more specific goals. "Losing weight" is too general. "Losing 20 pounds" or whatever might be too abstract. You say you go to the gym and exercise for "awhile" and I think this is the problem. "Awhile" or "as long as I can" often results in poor performance. Set a difficult, possible goal, and do your very best to get it. If you get it, then make it harder. "I will run on the treadmill for 30 minutes" or something like that. Educate yourself enough so that you have some empirical numbers about what a sedentary lifestyle is defined as, and what an active one is. I made a post in your last thread about motivation, and this is from the same textbook. Losing weight and working out is an uninteresting task. You have to use numbers to give yourself a concrete idea of what you actually want to do, and then not worry about the day to day result as long as you are fulfilling goals like "run on treadmill for 30 minutes" or whatever. glgl | ||

Weight will vary as you say but toning muscle (which is heavier than fat and can lead the the person working out thinking they arent doing enough) will adjust measurements noticeably. Rather than small weight goals I would go for small measurement goals. Such as: I want to lose 2 inches off my belly in the next X number of weeks/months etc Weight goals over all are fine, such as wanting to lose a total of 50 pounds and keep it off. However for smaller goals I find measurements much more rewarding, less variable, and easier to feel like youve done something about your health in the short term while pushing on to that long term goal of being 50 pounds lighter. | ||

This is actually great advice, for me my first short term goal was to fit into shirts I wore 5 years ago. While I didn't lose a lot of weight (only about 5 or 10 pounds because I was building a lot more muscle) I accomplished that goal and it was the greatest feeling in my life. GL sheth, reading about one of my favorite players losing weight has given me the inspiration to continue with my progress, so I hope cheering you on returns the favor in some small way | ||

Sounds like you're getting momentum and I always found that the hardest part of achieving a fitness goal. | ||
