Kiba Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hello, friends. At the beginning of September, I set a goal of reducing my carb intake by limiting my grain consumption, increasing my protein by increasing my egg consumption, and increasing my activity by walking several days a week and doing little strength training breaks at work. I'd say in terms of achievement of those specific goals, I'm at about 50% now. That's not based on any actual math, just an estimate out of my head. I compared my before and after pictures this morning, and I think I am a little less puffy now but it's hard to tell how much of that is due to changing my distance from the mirror when I took the picture, or where I placed my waistband before taking the picture, etc. But the scale tells me I'm down 4 lbs. For some people, that might seem like a moderate or small loss. For me, that's a rate of 4x any previous weight loss in my life. Sadly, I've yo-yoed in the past, mainly due to thyroid issues I think. (They are diagnosed now but I think I had them for about 10 years before getting the diagnosis.) Any time I've lost weight, which at one point was a loss of about 25 lbs, it's come off at a rate of about a pound a month. One month, 4 lbs. That's incredible progress for me. I wanted to share, because I think Nerd Fitness is what's making the difference in my perspective and attitude - it's kept me from giving up, deciding that this was too hard, or deciding that my slow pace meant I just shouldn't bother. YAY NERD FITNESS, AND YAY ME!
