Hello Everyone,
Just joined these forums for some ideas, inspiration and to comment on all of the wonderful before and after photos. Very inspiring!
I am 32 y.o., 5'8 and weigh around 171. I weighed about 135 when I moved to Vegas 4 years ago from Detroit, I guess lack of employment and sitting around made me gain some of the weight, not sure about the rest.
Right now I have an office job and sit allllll day. Then I usually go home and sit in front of my computer or tv. I am tired of being out of shape and getting winded by a flight of stairs or carrying groceries.
I do not really think I take in a whole lot of
calories, and I have been a
vegetarian for 20 years. But the sitting I'm sure is not helping. I also have a weakness for salt, all things salty!
I did
cardio kickboxing for 2 - 90 minute sessions a week, sweat my butt off, did that for 6 months and never lost a single
pound! I did Nutrisystem and lost about 11
pounds, but gained it all back when I went off the program. Just cutting
calories and doing nothing else does not help me because I never am able to cut enough, I get too hungry and low blood sugar.
So now I have bought a Schwinn Elliptical 430 Trainer to use at home. Any
elliptical trainer pointers would be great! I also try to take my 3 Chihuahuas out each night to exercise in the yard. Not much exercise there, but more than I was getting.
Thanks for reading!
