Hi everyone. To start off I'd like to share my progress so far. In December of 2005 I weighed in at 270. I'm 22 and 5'11". In December 2005 I decided to start losing weight. So I started going to the gym often, I cut soda from my diet, drank nothing but water, and eat more healthy.
Now a year and a month later, January 2007, I weigh in at 235. I figured since I slacked-off so much on my intended "regime" for the past year, if I had been more strict and consistent I would of lost a lot more weight in that period of time.
So for 2007, I want to step it up and be strict to loss more in shorter time.
Just in the past two weeks I stopped going to the gym and started jogging. When I first tried it a year ago, I failed miserably, I was very out of breath after just a very short distance.
Now that I've lost these 35 pounds, I can last longer. I start off by walking a good two blocks, then jog not so fast until I start to lose by breath, thats when I go back to walking. It takes me about a minute or so to catch my breath until I can jog another burst. I do this on/off jogging for about 30 mins. My jogging burst are longer than my walking distances.
I was hopeing to get advice on how to adjust my plan to maximize results. What should I alter? I run at night, around 9-ish, is that too late?
My goal is lose at least 1.5 pounds to 2 pounds per week.
