Can I join? Ultimately, I have another 60ish pounds to lose, but in the next month or so, I'd like to lose at least 4 lb. At my heaviest, 2.5 years ago, I was 245lb. I am currently 5'5" and 214 lb.
My weightloss has been pretty slow even with pretty healthy eating and exercise, so I've recently started cracking down more on my portion control. I've outlined a portion diet for myself that comes up to about 1600 calories a day. Most of my carbs come from veggies, fruit, and dairy products. I eat very few starchy foods. If I exercise and I'm feeling hungry after I've eaten all my calories, then I allow myself either some more fruit or a small sweet snack.
For exercise, I am doing zumba, jogging (c25k), and weightlifting. I've tried 30 day shred before, but I have a bad knee and squats, lunges, and jumping around are bad for it. If my tendon flares up, I have to take a day or two off of cardio exercise and just focus on stretching, weightlifting and rest, which is frustrating. My PT says it will heal eventually, but it's a long road!
Good luck everyone! I hope this thread stays active!
