Ht. 6'0", Start: 226 lb, Today: 195 lb, Goal: 165 lb - So, I've decided I'm going to be serious about this whole weightloss thing. I've been here for a while and have been sort of lurking. I lost weight at college this past year kind of unintentionally...what with not having food in front of my face every second. Also, I joined the crew team second semester, which was awesome. Anways, I'm going to crack down on my diet and try to lose weight. I'm doing this because I want to be healthy. Also, I'm rowing varsity for my college next semester and everyone is all up in each other's weight and such (the coach even weighs us in front of everyone) and I don't want to be super embarrassed when this whole process goes down. Don't get me wrong, I have the fitness. I row the second fastest time on the team and finish the 5 mile runs before most of the team in the fast group; however, I can't continue on like this. Plus, that will be embarrassing like no other to weigh near 200 lbs. I know I'll lose some one season starts because he says everyone loses on his team but still...I want to be in the 170's. (ie: even 179 before season starts in mid August) Do you think this is possible? I know I have to mind my eating habits because I work out frequently. I feel like if I eat when I'm hungry and not mindlessly and a moderated diet that I will lose weight, as this is what I did at school. For a period I was down around the 170's but stuff happened and I gained back :X yeah...not fun. Anywho, yeah, that's about it.
