Mr Mary Lou - let me give you some advice. Being a big guy myself, Ive started to go at the weight loss again since my seperation. For myself and no one else.
The key for bigger people, those with the most weight to lose is, stoking the fire, you need food in your body for energy to burn. Do not go more than 4-5 hours without having something..a piece of fruit, a granola bar, some peanuts, a yogurt, something...make your meals smaller but more often.. if youre worried about not feeling full with dinner, include a salad...stay away from soda and watch the sugar drinks too. If you can cut down between 500 and 700 calories a day youll drop the lbs. The body at the beginning stages tries to self preserve, so therefore, you wont see right away ..meaning a day or three..but keep up the same pace and you'll see it within 2 weeks - 30 days. Also stay hydrated. Its important for metabolism. If the body's systems are working properly its less things that can keep the body from burning calories and fat.
Also any exercise you can do, even sitting in a chair doing arm exercises, is important. Get the big limbs moving and that will help burn more calories. If you're doing little to none now, any activity will increase calories being burned.
Greenie, you can take me off the flow chart, Im only Unofficially in. Ive got more long term things Im working on, but Im doing it right along with you guys. Im here for the support and the encouragement.
