How to lose 10 more pounds
It made me
 "Healthy lifestyle, not some gimmicky diet, does the trick!"
How I did it: Most of what I had done has been documented in my posts but it basically came down to regular exercise - walking 5 miles a day, light circuit training & ab work 3 times a week - and eating healthy. Lessons & tips: Saying no to eating out was a big plus as portions at restaurants typically are double what you need. Resources: I love the iPhone apps LiveStrong, Lose It!, and Glucose Buddy for monitoring, and listening to some good podcasts to listen to on my walks.

How I did it: I should have posted this a long time ago I have taken off that 10 and then some.....Vegetables!!!! O and very few processed foods. I am still loosing weight. I don't think everyone needs to be a vegetarian. Just incorporate more vegetables in your diet. We have all forgoten how to eat and are too busy to cook. Slow down and enjoy it! Read how I did it…

Almost there

I’ve lost 25 lbs doing Weight Watchers and that has been great. The last ten lbs are the hardest though and I can’t seem to get them lost.
I know what to do but I’m getting complacent and letting myself slip. I’m up to 213 right now and I want to get to 190. Cutting out fast food will help and I need to get more sleep.
A lack of sleep is directly related to weight gain I read on WW website. If you’re sruggling with losing weight WW has worked great for me. I’d recommend it to anybody.

Now I am actually gaining weight. I have 25 pounds to lose before I can begin to lose the 10 in this goal. The grand total needed to achieve the goal is 35 pounds! UGH!

Lose It

Recently I wrote about the Livestrong iPhone app. I have just recently downloaded the Lose It one and have to say that it might just be better.
Livestrong seems to have a more comprehensive database of foods, but Lose it has a better user interface and seems to be more accurate as far as calories burned during exercise is concerned.
Either one is good, but I am more impressed with Lose It.

I’d already lost 12 lbs when I made the goal here to lose 10 more. Since then, I’ve lost almost 2 more pounds. Eight pounds to go!

Almost there!

Even with temperatures in the single digits (or below) I’ve managed to stay on target. As of today, I’ve lost 8.5 pounds and just need to push through to my goal.
One of the best aides I found this year had been YakTrax. These have helped me to walk at a good pace (2.5 miles in 40 minutes whilst walking the dog) on icy roads and packed snow. Those and some interesting podcasts that last about 40 minutes…
Get out there gang, and let’s kick ass on this goal!

So the good news....

This morning I was able to easily fit into my favorite pair of blue jeans again! It’s a pair of Lucky Brand jeans that I’ve missed like a long lost friend. That was the good news.
The bad news is that they were about an inch too short! D’oh!
I guess I have a pair of good jeans to wear should it flood in my neighborhood…

Free Pedometer

One of the things that I took on was to walk over 15,000 steps a day. It’s been a huge help in meeting my health and fitness goals. I just came across this program which offers a free pedometer.

Good luck fellow “10 Pounders”!

Seeing progress!

Since I started this goal, I have shaved off 3 pounds – 7 to go!
What has been working for me is a balance of diet and exercise. This is what I have been doing on average:
Exercise
Mornings
6am – Walk 2.5 miles briskly (everyday, yes, even the weekends when I should be sleeping in!)
6:45am – Light ab work (Mon, Wed, Sat)
7am – Light circuit training using Bowflex (Mon, Wed, Fri)
7:45am – stretching
Afternoons
12:30pm – Walk 1.5 miles briskly after lunch (although I haven’t been good about this)
Evenings
8pm – Walk 2.5 miles briskly
Diet
As for diet, my typical daily intake has been about 2000 calories and looks something like this:
Breakfast
1/2 cup Quaker Oats
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups Trader Joe’s O’s (trying to avoid wheat as it’s a refined carb)
3/4 cup nonfat milk
Daily vitamin (from Whole Food Market’s 365 brand)
2 cups nonfat milk mixed with Jay Robb’s protein shake (on weight training days only)
Morning snack
2 clementine oranges
Lunch (Varies but this is an example)
2 cups of brown rice penne pasta (cooked)
1 cup of Trader Joe’s vegetarian chili
1 cup of a non-starchy vegetable like broccoli
Afternoon snack (not all at once)
12 almonds
1/2 cup carrots (sliced, not baby carrots to get vitamins from skin)
1 serving of corn tortilla chips (low or no salt added)
1/4 cup salsa
Dinner
6-8 oz of a lower fat protein like chicken breast, turkey, etc.
1/2 cup steamed vegetable
1/2 cup kidney beans or other legumes
1/2 cup brown or wild rice
Sometimes I’ll add a small garden salad with fat-free dressing
Sorry this is is a bit long, but hopefully you will find it helpful! I’d love to hear what is working for you!
