Day 35 Weight 290 Measurements: Chest 51, Gut 55, Waist 48 1/2, R&L Biceps 17, R&L Thigh 30 Now my weight loss has slowed down a bit, its actually where its suppose to be, if u are losing 2 - 3 lbs a week thats good. Anything more than that is supposedly to fast and not healthy for your body. As u can see I havent lost too many inches around any body part I normally measure, but thats ok too, this is basically the beginning of my second month and the second time ever in my life where i have been on a diet and have exercised this long without giving up. Its funny because I have this unrealistic idea that since I've been working out and dieting, that I should be skinny by now........I think that that is many a big person's problem, we forget how long it took us to pack on these pounds. So isnt it just that it takes a long time to get them off? Preseverence, and determination.....two big factors for anybody trying to lose weight, I still have them and im not giving up not this time. I have been doing great on my workout regimen, but the first four weeks have passed and now I have to move on to the next four wk workout set but I'm suppose to take this week off of working out from what the book said, but I dont think that that is a good idea for me. Not going to the gym for a whole week can make one a little less likely to keep going to the gym. So I'll probably go to the gym and workout at half of my workout strength for this week. Then go back to doing it hardcore next week like the book asks. Well I have to go I'll write more when I have time.
