I thought you were watching your WEIGHT. 😀

That I am, but I am now in my goal range, 140 to 145. I was 140.2 this morning, so I can pig out once or TWICE. 😀

Good for you. That is a good WEIGHT. How tall are YOU? 😀

 

[milagros317]

Good for you. That is a good WEIGHT. How tall are YOU? 😀

5 feet, 8 inches tall. That gives me a BMI of 21.3
Before GS got me on a diet, I weighed 192 pounds. 😱

That is quite COMMENDABLE. 😀 What is your TRICK? 😀

It is not really a trick. With the notable exceptions of when I pig out, I don't eat any pasta or bread any more. Zero calories in beverages: seltzer or green tea without sugar or milk. When pigging out, I can have a shot of single malt whiskey. Only dark chocolate for desert.

And more exercise: Brisk walking (4mph) three times a week for 45 minutes, following by walking upstairs to get home. (I live on the 8th floor.)

Pigging out is permitted when I am under 141 pounds. Emergency dieting occurs when I am at 144 or above.

It would be an exaggeration to say that I feel young again. That would be impossible. But I do feel about the way I felt at age 50. (I will be 65 next month.)
GS has done me a lot of GOOD.

Nice JOB. 😀

Nice JOB. 😀

Thank you. It took me about 10 years of pigging out with no exercise to get to 192 pounds and only two years to get back into decent SHAPE. 😀

I am having a hard time losing WEIGHT. 🙁

Since I stopped drinking so much soda,I have lost some weight. 😀

It is very difficult. You have to shock you body with a burst of exercise at the beginning. Also, carbs (bread, pasta, beer) have to GO. 🙁 🙁

Very good. Drink only seltzer--no calories at ALL. 😀

I rarely drink soda ANYMORE. 🙁

One other key is this, suggested to me by GS: Keep to your diet six days a week, but allow yourself to cheat a little on the seventh day. It will give you something to which you can look FORWARD. 😀

I have tried that. Apparently I can't cheat at ALL. 😀

I stick with coffee or water pretty much. 😀

That is very good, my friend. Most people don't realize how many calories they drink every day in their beverages. It turns out to be a LOT. 😱

What about PIZZA? 😀

 

[General Zod]

I also try to not eat fast FOOD. 😀

 

[milagros317]

What about PIZZA? 😀

I haven't had pizza in about 6 MONTHS. 😀

Paracarl should stop making fun of your eating habits. I bet you are much thinner than he IS. 😀

I could not give up PIZZA. 😀

His antics don't bother me much, because I used to eat that way every DAY. 😱

We all have something that we can't give up. For me it is chocolate. So have your pizza but exercise portion CONTROL. 😀
