Trying something new

Posted on January 18, 2016

I started losing weight about a year ago. Living in New England, there was plently of snow to shovel. I lost 25 pounds before the winter was over. I lost another 10 pounds over the summer and fall. I would like to lose at least 20 more. I thought I would try this to give me some motivation - I hate losing money. Of course, it is the time of year to shovel snow. That should help too.

Well I completed my first diet bet successfully, but only lost the bare minimum (7lbs) to make the cut. I was looking at some information online. It says an average woman of my height and age weighs 156 lbs, but that is still concidered overweight and just 3 lbs below being obese. The same chart says I have to get all the way down to 132 lbs just to make it into the normal weight range. I haven't weighed that little since 1977. Feeling discouraged.

I read your post and I miss the snow. I lived in Boulder Colorado for a couple years and it's weird, but I loved to shovel snow... I'm a big girl and I found that I could shovel snow for 90 minutes and it wouldn't bother me. I loved that it was cold and that I could "workout" doing this and the temp would keep me from feeling horrible from all the sweat. Best of luck to you!

We had record snow fall last year up here in the Boston area. There were days when I was out there shovel 10 to 12 hrs before I was done. That helped jump start my weight lost. but not much snow yet this winter (knock on wood). However, we are expecting 8 to 12 inches later this week.
