Quote:keeping the weight off (which is but the primary symptom) and maintaining the life changes is harder work.Not that I've found. Over the summer I lost around 45lbs. It was hard to maintain a strict weight loss diet with my wonderful, supportive  friends around so I went into a maintenance mode. Really hasn't been hard and other than the shift in my view on food that I made before starting the weight loss diet I haven't given it a second thought. Over the course of 6 months I've been withing 4-5lbs of where I started. Now I'm starting phase 2 of my weight loss. I too was in that "I look average" mentality and before I knew it I was over 315lbs. I carry it well and most people would never guess I was that heavy; I didn't have flab hanging all over the place, so it was easy to buy into that "average" idea. This is good motivation, I'm nearing my first week back on a weight loss diet and I'm still at the point that I would kill for some cupcakes... It's funny, cupcakes and the like are something that I would eat maybe twice a year. When I start a very low carb diet that's all I want... Quote:Free weights (especially a bar and bench) without a spotter will be just fine right up until it's not -- then it's REAL bad.Dumbbells are best but if you do use the bar alone there are a couple of things you can do to make it safer. One, do not use locks on the weights. If you get stuck you can usually tilt the bar and dump the weights off one side. As soon as you do that the bar will lurch the other way and dump those weights. Two, know what you can reasonably lift. This isn't the time to find out what your max limit is without working up to it and being realistic about how exhausted your muscles are. It's one thing to bring the bar down and not be able to lift it back up, it's another when it comes crashing down almost uncontrolled. Quote:Lastly, if you are planning on making jogging a central routine in your exercise profile make sure you get fitted for proper running shoes.Read "Born to Run". Great book and it will have you rethinking that idea of a "proper" running shoe. Last modified: 2012-01-12 02:42:00 by cobra2411
