1 month of dieting and 1 stone ( 14 Lbs lighter ) !! feeling amazing !!

Hi All

I joined this site on 21st August 2009 and initially found it a pain to enter calories on it. I ended up doing my own tags as I eat a lot of proper home made indian food which is not  listed correctly or not at all. Now I have got used to it and love the toolbar gauge which you can download , brilliant - try it !!

 I am delighted to say that I have lost 14  pounds as at today and feel ecstatic. I am 6ft 1 and weighed about 205 pounds ! I reduced my calorie intake from 2400 to about 1700 per day ( hardly starving !  LOL ) and go for a 40 minute brisk walk every other day (4 mph ). Also I started doing leg raises lying flat 10 twice a day slowly focussing on the stomach. I also exhale when standing and then pull I stomach in for 10/15 seconds 4/5 times  day ( this is called a stomach vacum on u tube ) . I have reduced 2 belt loops already !  I cannot thank this site enough and am singing its praises to everyone.

Who needs expensive gyms when you can do it with a bit of self discipline and  control of what you eat.  My energy levels have noticebly improved and I now enjoy dieting ! and am excited at watching the scales defy what they used to do just a month ago.

As James Brown used to say " I feel good " ( ta ra rar ra ra ra  ra )

WOW!  well done you!  that's amazingly insprirational. 

Well done you

Awwww dont you just love the success stories .............

Hi Manjit,

Posts like this are the reason I log on to CC every day.

Well said on there being no need for expensive gyms! Using our own weight to lose weight is the best kept secret in weight loss!

Congratulations to you!

Congrats!

I'm so glad you found how to do your own tags. You can do recipes too which is very helpful.

I have not yet tried the toolbar, but will definitely do so, on your recommendation!
