Vian Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi, was refered here by KI4WLG. Been trying to lose weight since January and have lost 20 pounds so far, want to lose 70 more. I kind of gave up over most of the summer once school was out, but I'm back at it now. I try to do some kind of exercise every day, alternating between walking and strength training on a few days a week, and cardio on the other days. My interests include aquariums, orchids, horses, writing, art, and for the nerd part of it, I play World of Warcraft and dabble in Exalted and Magic the Gathering.I count calories and as I said, i exercise daily, but seem to lose weight very slowly, despite having a fair ammount of muscle. I'm female, 26, 5'9" tall and currently weigh 250 pounds with medium bone structure. I try to stay around 2000 calories per day, 1800 if I'm unable to exercise for some reason. That should put me at losing about a pound per week, but when I first started back up again a few weeks ago, I lost like 5 pounds in a week and a half, and have been stuck ever since. Trying to decide if I need to drop my calories further, or push myself in exercise more. "When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire; When I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire - O be thou then the first, the one thou art; Be thou the calling before all answering love, and in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire." - George MacDonald Link to comment
