1st update on 365 days challenge to lose 46lbs and tips

by createvalueshare
4 replies
I started a challenge to lose 46lbs body weight in 365 days on Apr 13, 2013.

My weight on April 13 was 191.5lbs

First week has passed by and I lost 3.7lbs.

Here I want to share some tips to help people lose weight.

1. Understand the science. It's all about daily net calorie intake. I read lots of information from health fitness websites.

2. Keep record. I am using a calorie tracker from livingstrong.com to keep record of my net calorie intake every day. Most of the days I am about 300 calories below the calorie amount to maintenance body weight.

3. Keep things simple. If the whole process is complicated, you are likely to give up.
- Use a tool to make record keeping easy
- Use frequent eaten foods to simplify your meals

4. Set up your goals and assess them on regular base.

5. Start friendly competition to keep motivation alive.

    Awesome stuff! Congratulations on getting started on this journey and on scoring your first victory.

    I was on a similar path myself, and it's changed my life more than I can express in words. I actually started at 192 lbs, if I remember correctly!

    Keep it up and don't forget - you're not alone. If you hit any plateaus, reach out either on this thread or via PM.
    Have an awesome weekend,
    Tudor

    Cool, congratulations on your 3.7 lbs loss, it's a big loss specially when you have just started or on your first week, mostly the loss in the second week is twice on the first week, I beleive you can do more than that.
