Tue, 07 Mar 2006 15:55:27 +0000 http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2006/03/10/diet-book-review-the-biggest-loser/#comment-871 <p>I am at my perfect weight for my height. How did I get there, by putting my life on hold with the help of my family and working out for 1-2 hours everyday afterwork. It was hard on all of us for over a year but I went from a size 28 to a size 10. It was important for me to work out everyday for the amount of weight that I needed to lose because I didn't want the sagging skin effect that comes after losing a great deal of weight which would then be just another problem to deal with. Eating right was not my first issue. Working out everyday was my goal (I started out only being able to walk for 7 mins and worked upto 2 hours of exercising in the gym). I now love working out 3-5 days a week (walking, jogging, biking, treadmill) and can't wait to jog again this summer out doors with the sun making love to my skin. Social skills, I didn't have them before I lost the weight, so I don't have them now but it is easier because sad to say that people approach me now at a smaller size for conversation. "You shouldn't put your life on hold until you finish losing weight" I learned this years ago but still find myself at times wanting to put my life on hold to lose five pounds that I gain on and off. Last, I found that losing the weight was the easy part but my thoughts on food, bingeing, comfort support food, etc. is something I may have to deal with for the rest of my life. Best of Luck.</p> I am at my perfect weight for my height. How did I get there, by putting my life on hold with the help of my family and working out for 1-2 hours everyday afterwork.

As I’ve always said, if I had nothing else to do than work out for hours every day, and concentrate on eating right, I’d be at the perfect weight for my height too!
