hotgurl Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 So in three months I have lost 12 pounds. I know I need to kick up the exercise to loose faster. But 12 lbs is still cool. But the thing I am more proud of it I did 2 hikes out west over 9,000 ft. I did a hike last week that a year ago felt like agony and I had to stop several times to rest. Well this time I went all the way up without stopping.2.5 miles up. I was slow. But I did it it was still challenging in some place but so much easier than before and I felt fine and not tired after going down. Plus I di danother hike that was easy in the white mountains.this one was only 1.5 miles but it was steep. anyways I was feeling down about the rate of weight loss so instead of beating myself up I thought I would celebrate some milesstone. How are you guys doing? What are your milesstones.
GrayClouds Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Dropping a few pounds is always good and who does not want to look a bit better. Though often what gets lost in the pursuit of exercise is the real benefit, it allows a person to FEEL better and enjoy life more. Once a person recognize those rewards, working out becomes more then just a means to an end, exercise becomes great part of your life rather something that has to be done. Congrats

As for my milestones , I have Nat'l Guard duty every other weekend and the training is very rigorous , (I'm in a combat engineer battalion) so I have to keep in shape. I have no option. But keep up the good work!!!
Lauriebell82 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 congrats, that's wonderful! It feels great to feel lighter and healthier doesn't it? I switched my workout time and stop eating junk at work..I lost 10 pounds which is a lot considering I wasn't overweight to begin with. I'm going to look smokin in my wedding dress! Only a month away now...
threebyfate Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 You're losing at a very healthy rate of about a pound a week. This gives your body enough time to acclimitise to the change in lifestyle and make it habit.
