A pound lost?
I'm at 171 this morning, which isn't really a loss since I have bounced up and down with the same four pounds for months.
I have joined a group of ladies in losing weight together. It's sort of a "Biggest Loser" group. My starting weight last week was 172 and today I can report 171. At least it's a loss.
I am going to try to eat differently. I'm thinking of a low-fat, only-good-carbs diet. Lots of beans for the healthy fiber and protein along with brown rice in moderation and plenty of veggies. No more store-bought pseudo-wheat bread, either. Whole wheat tortillas if I must have a sandwich type of meal.
What do you think of that approach?
Another change I'm considering is getting a fitness hoop (similar to a weighted hula hoop) for exercise. I walk constantly in Spring, Summer and Fall yet that doesn't help me lose weight. A friend used a fitness hoop as her main exercise routine, along with dietary changes, and had great success. We are about the same height and build. She started at the same weight I am now and has nearly reached the goal weight that we both share.
