Weight loss and perseverance

Hey Ddaddy, Good job. Keep it up. Being dedicated to the goal is the first order of biz and having a plan is the second.

You mentioned something pretty good earlier about energy spent at various weights. So true. As you get closer to your goal the harder it is to make those last few pounds to meet the goal. Even though you have been stead fast on your new habit, the calories burnt in the endeavor slow down as the goal becomes near.

In the last few months of my dieting from my high of 215 down to 170, I took up some basic exercise with dead weights to help keep pace if not accelerate the goal I was seeking and double up on a better looking body.

About midway through my dieting plan, I sought a little help from two coworkers that are my age and whom are body builders. Both said the same thing.

“Bobby, your old! Take it easy. Just be steady on what your doing and lift light, don’t push it! Just burn the calories & you’ll be fine come spring.”

What a huge payoff!
