Your blogposts are really informative.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your youtube video ... it really got me going.
It's almost a month since I started the weight loss.
I've lost about 13lbs. I'm doing resistance & cardio on alternate days (I'm pretty sure, switching to cardio 6days a week can really speed up the weight loss, but I want it to be slow)
Thanks for taking time and putting up these posts & videos.
Cheers mate :-)
Thanks so much for this letter. It really makes me feel good to know I'm helping make a difference for some people.
It's very smart to lose the weight slowly because you will minimize the amount of extra skin you have at the end of your weight loss. Doing this will also ensure that your metabolism doesn't slow down too much! It is true that doing cardio will speed up the weight loss, just remember that your body needs time to recover from any form of strenuous activity so if you begin to feel lethargic or become sick scale your activity down a bit in order to give your body a chance to recover. congratulations on your weight loss, i can see that you know what you're doing so keep it up!

Wow....13 pounds in one month. Holy. How do people seem to lose it so fast?
ReplyDeleteI've been doing cardio and some (but very little) weight lifting. I was sore maybe...the first day after the workouts? But haven't gotten sore since just that one day...and I read your "no pain, no gain" post in which you basically said..."yes, you need pain for the workouts to be beneficial."
I don't know if I'm not pushing myself enough, but I thought that slow and steady will gradually work as well. Is this not true? When I DO push myself to the point where my muscles ache the next day, I absolutely DREAD going back to the workout and I usually don't because...the pain just isn't worth it I guess. I go back to slow and steady, but I worry it's not actually benefiting me.
