Checking in a little late because I was out of town last week. I lost 3.5 pounds over the month and am very satisfied with my progress! What's worked for me was eating a good breakfast every day, cutting back on carbs and alcohol, only eating when I'm hungry, and not eating after about 8 pm at night. Also, I stopped eating while doing something else like driving. On the fitness front, I made progress by carrying weight while walking, taking a rock climbing class, snowshoeing in the mountains once a week, and hiking at least 4 miles a day in wintery weather. Also, I have tried to increase my workout regimen on the elliptical training each time I work out and I have started working my upper body with weights. I'm developing a solid mental attitude about what I can achieve with this body fitness-wise and learning that I can develop more strength and stamina than I ever thought possible.
What's not working for me is continuing stress and the sedentary lifestyle that we all have to battle. It's particularly bad on Sundays when I'm either driving, sitting in church, sitting in a restaurant, or sitting somewhere else. Must change my Sunday routine!
Congratulations everybody on your progress!
