GYM-FREE SUCCESS STORIES, PLEASE :)

unknown

Hello there!

I'm loving that the weather is warming up, and with that said, at the end of the day I find myself leaving an office and not wanting to step foot inside a gym just to miss out on more fresh air. That being said, I've done crossfit (1.5years+) and while it made me strong, it didn't do much for me as far as weight loss. I am 5'1" and 205lbs... I'd like to lose 75-80#, or even better, just fit into a size 9 jean and a medium shirt again.

So I know I have the ability to work hard, I just would love to hear stories of women who have lost weight gym free and 'at home DVD' free... (I tend to plop down and fast forward through the parts I don't want to do.... yea... I know, lol).

I like to walk my dogs, I've just started riding my bicycle again, and I can jog/walk some too as needed (bad feet = intense pain when running).

Any advice, and again, sucess stories and photos of those who have had success just being active would be wonderful!!

Thanks!!

You ladies are great!!
I've been packing my lunches and eating within my calories for the last two weeks, but hadn't logged anything, and realized I was snacking a lot in the afternoon and that had to be throwing me off. So back to logging it is! It's literally the only thing that's worked for me, i just have to quit letting it drift off and feeling like i can just magically keep it up without the accountability.

I have been more active too.... heck even on this past Saturday before knowing i would be on my feet at the restaurant for 12 hours, the hubbs and I went on a 10 mile bike ride, just for extra credit! I have been riding the bike more for sure, but the scale keeps going up. So i tucked the scale away for the next few months, and am focusing just on staying active and logging my food/exercise here... hopefully the clothes start to fit better soon! I know I feel much better.... canceling cable was definitely one of the best moves I could do!!!
