[QUOTE="VitruvianDoc, post: 1782867, member: 13736"] Still chugging along. I am 1 lb away from my initial goal. I started at 218 lbs, currently 176 lbs (42 lb loss). My next goal is 160 lbs and so i bumped my ticker in my signature to reflect that. I currently focus on cardio for weight loss. I know weight training is just as if not more efficacious for weight loss, but I am seeing good results with my routine so I am sticking to it. I eat a 1600 calories diet with 50% carb, 30% protein, 20% fat. I stick to it hell or high water and even if I splurge on bad foods, I keep them in my caloric limit. I have switched to all white meat (chicken and fish) except for the occasional steak, pork chop, or baby back rib (for the smoker). Other than that, eat food conscious and all, no real big changes. As far as exercise: I did circuit training for the most part, but started a couch to 5k training program in February. I completed it in 7.5 weeks out of the 9 weeks it requires. I ran my first 5k while training with a 36 minute time. In 2.5 more weeks, I kept training and pushing hard. I ran my first 5k about 2 weeks ago and completed it with a time of 27:23. It was a personal record by 3+ minutes. I now run between 2-4 miles a day for 4-6 days a week. I plan on weight training once I hit my goal weight. I want to add muscle when I train and eating at such a calorie deficit right now would only have me losing and toning. [/QUOTE]
