Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm on week five of my plan and I weigh in/measure on Monday.

So far, I've been walking and doing body weight exercises daily with a modified Combat Challenge type workout on duty days (every third day).

I started week one off by consuming 1200 calories daily, drinking TONS of water and limiting sodas. I lost eleven pounds and spent about two days doing number two cuz I had tons of garbage built up in my system/

By my second week, I had found the website that I posted before and I started working out. I've increased my intake to about 1600 calories daily, three main meals with smaller snacks every few hours. Still keeping the sodas limited, but sometimes I'll have two diet pepsi max a day.

Lots of stretching, too. I try to stretch before bed and when I wake up. I'm having few back problems and I had a pesky shoulder that seems to be doing much better. My right heel was starting to hurt, but since I've dropped some more weight that only flares up occassionally.

My weight loss has stabilized, I lost three pounds last week and its looking like another three this week. I've lost three inches off my waist, about that off my chest and an inch off my hips.

I am not posting this to show off. I just want to show that I'm doing simple stuff that doesn't cost a dime and I'm getting results. I spent years putting this off and whining about not being able to afford a gym, etc. But, I've found some good guidence on my webgroup and I feel like I needd to pass this on to others. My workouts are posted on the Spartan Workout website, but if anyone is interested I can post them here too.

Stay safe
