Current Weight:(23 Apr 13) 185.0 lb
Goal Weight:160.0 lb
following: tmhiggins's own diet
performance: gaining 0.5 lb a week

2012 brought many ups and downs and here I am on January 1, 2013 restarting what I started a year ago. For the most part I've been quite happy with my progress over the last year. I was pretty successful and was able to take off 25 lbs and keep it off for the most part. However, I suffered a groin injury in late November and I've been laid up doing nothing. Christmas is now over and I've been cleared to exercise again and I'm ready to get back at it.

So a little about my 'diet'....
1. I am not on a 'diet' - In fact, the word diet makes me very hungry. This is a lifestyle change for me.
2. I do this by:
A) Portion Control
B) Exercise
C) Healthier food choices.
3. I LOVE to eat and cook and drink wine while I do both!

So, thank you for reading my profile! If you would like a 'buddy' then feel free to say Hi! I will warn you however, I am not into radical, strict weight loss or fad diets. My motto "Everything in Moderation!"

Progress updates!

Energy drink side effects?
CH002591... I have to agree on the "hangover" theory! I had a rough day yesterday but we're both feeling much better today.

apatrick1... not sure I'd advise keeping at it... but after yesterday, I definately wouldn't want to be facing the eventual crash and withdrawal that drinking 2 a day will bring.

Cheers!

Energy drink side effects?
The HB and I have been eating fairly healthy for some time now. Very little sugar/sweets and reduced caffeine intake. This past Friday night we were up a little later than usual and on Saturday we found ourselves a little dragged out. To combat this, we decided to stop and grab a coffee but our regular coffee shop was closed for maintenance so we popped into the service station next door and grabbed a couple Monster, energy drinks. It did the trick, but two days later we're not sure if we're coming down with something or suffering from a post energy drink hangover. We don't feel sick.... but some of the "side effects" we're noticing include, irritability, light headed, dizzy, diarrhea, difficulty sleepy, lack of taste and being hungry (although we've been eating normally). Has anyone ever experienced such side effects? Or do you think we're just coming down with a summer bug?

it takes so long
Unfortunately, it doesn't go on overnight... and it can't come off overnight! Slow and steady wins this race!!

Exercise Tips for Toning?
I'm in the same boat... it depends on what you want to tone up. I tried doing it on my own but there are so many diferent exercises and routine's out there, that it's hard to know what to do and where to start. My plan is to start seeing a personal trainer in a few weeks. There is a bit of a cost to it, but I figure I'll start with 10 sessions or so. That should be enough to get me into a routine that's been designed for me and my goals and help me with the proper execution of the workout.

wii fit - does it work
I agree with Hoser... it depends on your exercise level. It is a "light" workout but it does depend on how hard you work at it and how often.

In the end, nothing is a waste of money, IF you use it!
