Like others, I haven't been posting. I'm still being disciplined and following the E2M program. Weekly exercise circuits and extra credit weight workouts mixed in with cardio of 30 min run/walks 3 days and riding 3 other days. Where I haven't been disciplined has been the eating. While I do follow the basic guidelines of protein, vegetables and healthy fat, it's been the stress eating snacking, cakes, cookies, ice cream and beer that sneak in occasionally during the week and often on the weekends.
Maintaining is way harder than losing weight! With that being said, the E2M program has taken a new direction this week that was announced last week and caused a whole bunch of drama. The program was always a FB private group and supposed to be member for life after paying and completing the 8wk program. It's now a monthly payment for new members and the old 8wk program is still there just won't be updated. It's moving to a web based App to eliminate the FB issues that happen too often, which is why it's now a monthly membership fee. The program has also moved away from providing meal plan information as a survey showed that many people can't handle it. Yes, it's a bit restrictive and hard, but it is for losing weight without pills or supplements. Once the goal weight has been reached, start introducing foods in moderation. Moderation being the key word.
I'm still following the old "legacy" program and don't need to watch any live workouts or participate/engage with the social media b.s. that is a big part of the group.
Weight
01/02/22 Starting weight = 235.4
09/09/24 previous weight = 204.0
09/12/24 current weight = 197.4
Diff: down 6.6 for the week, total lost = 38
I know what to do! I've done it before, just need to be disciplined and consistent.
