Hello Everyone.
Last year, in February, I finally gained the will power to make a lifestyle change. After unsuccessful tries at dieting, I examined what normally made me fail. It seemed depriving myself of certain things I enjoyed did me in. I decided to start eating healthy, and set a calorie limit for each day. I also do at least a half hour of cardio each day.
Anyways, it is now March 2008, and I am beginning to feel great. I think I have lost over 100 pounds. That is my question. I didn't weigh myself when I began last year. I was 6' and had a 60" waistline, and 24 years old. I now am down to a 46" waistline, and still steadily decreasing. I weigh 290 pounds now. It seems right now I am losing 3-4 pounds per week. Can anyone estimate how much weight I have lost, or is that impossible?
Although this is my first actual post, I have been reading these boards for the past couple of months. The before and after pictures have given me a lot of motivation.
I have one other question. I have mainly been focusing on cardio. Would it be a good idea to do some strength training? I have an adjustable weight bench and weights to go along with it. If anyone can make any suggestions, that would be awesome.
