Im getting there

[mattwes1980]

So I started in mid June. I think my starting weight was around 223 and wore a size 40 pants, or somewhere close to that. As today I am 195 and at a size 36, and even they are getting big. My exercise consists of running at least a mile a day 4-5 times a week and yoga 2-3 times a week. I also try to do at least 100 push ups a day. I think i may try to get to 180 but peopole are saying I am skinny as **** already

I just need to break this deep, deep depression that I am in, due to a horrible breakup of girlfriend of 2 years. I would think looking good and losing all this weight would cheer me up and people say that it should because it is a wonderful and positive thing, but I just have darkness following me.

great job on your weight loss! it's so great when people take notice and then follow that up with positive comments.

I am going to start p90x probably around mon or tuesday. I want to stay with the low carb dirt and I have read their fist stage is low carb, no sugar. My problem is I want to stay with the LC but their other ladders start adding carbs and i really do not want to gain, just tone up. Anyone out in LC land have any idea's or suggestions. Also I want to take a recovery drink and I found one that is no carb no sugar, so I guess it is cool. Ill keep you all posted. Much love Me

Held off on some seriuos cravings last night. Was staring at some NJ fudge on the countertop. It took all my will power not to give in. I was just telling myself, maybe a little nibble wont hurt, but I know that little nibble is just the precursor to a binge and i am proud to say that I held off. I guess one of my saving graces is my will power and that has helped me stay away from booze, sweets and drugs in the past. I know it is a virtue that some people do not or have not much of, and I thank god I have a strong one. I start the P90x next week. Looking to tone up not lose. I hope I can stay on the LC diet. I have read that carbs will be needed probably for energy later in the program. If anyone has any recommendations than please post them . TY ALL
