Re: Newbie Seeks Buddy
Hey Rick,
I started mine last night. I have 40# to lose. I am starting with HIIT coupled with weight training and better eating. I'll let you know how things come along, or beter said come off.
It's been 3 weeks for you. How you doing? What strategies are you using?

Re: Newbie Seeks Buddy
Richard, ever since I've improved on my eating habits..THANKS TO ROB, and understand the difference of calorie intake vs. calorie's burned, I'm finally getting a handle on it. I want to drop 33 more pounds, but in realty and according to my frame I think 190 to 195 would be perfect. Always shoot for more than you want...right? I haven't weighed myself since I started. I'm using the good old fashion way for now...belt holes.
I'll tell you Richard..the EFitness Points help motivate me!!

Re: Newbie Seeks Buddy
I am working out twice a day. At lunch I am doing some HIIT. Run a 7 min mile pace for a minute, the a 5 minute pace for 2 minutes and walk @ 4 minute pace for 2. Then back up to 7 etc. I do this for 30 minutes.
Then 3 nights I am doing some weight liftiing. My PT suggested to keep my protein intake higher than I have been to build muscle. I am not really wanting bulk just definition. Some morings I am walking before work.I am in a "Biggest Loser" contest at work" so for me the scale is king.

Re: Newbie Seeks Buddy
Wow Richard, I'm impressed!! That sounds like a great workout. When I did Triathlons, I would run to pre-determined landmarks, knowing the distances and try to always beat my previous time to them...even if it were only a few seconds. One thing that really helped my running, was swimming alot (1 mile in the a.m then 1 mile in the p.m.).
Keep it up!!! It sounds fantastic and at that rate, I'll be looking for you during the NY Marathon next year!!! STAY MOTIVATED NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
