I know that TinyE has the CP Weight Loss Challenge thread, but this is a new beginning for me. No losing weight for prizes, as that motivation ended on July 1st. This time I'm doing it for me. My goal is 75 lbs. Slow and steady wins the race. This time, the prize will be a whole new me.

Anyone else still battling the bulge? Here, hopefully, you can find more encouragement and tips on diet and exercise. Feel free to talk about discouragements, setbacks, frustrations, etc as well. We're here to help...at least I am.

I bought the Wii Fit Plus. It's pretty cool. It has games and other things that keep you distracted from doing the exercising you're doing. This is the first day with it, so I'm not sold yet.

My parents have been doing slim for life, no exercising and both have dropped 50+ lbs in 3+ months.. They are religious on it which is good, weigh in 4+ times a week..

I went on my four mile walk today. I don't know why I ever stopped. I always feel so much better afterward. I think my key is going to be exercising. If I'm exercising, I feel guilty when I eat.

You're not going to be able to exercise enough to offset eating the same amount of calories you always have. I'm sure you know that... just a reminder.

Remember: "You can't fight more with more." You can't fight eating more calories with more exercise, because at some point, you'll simply run out of time to exercise. It's far easier to eat more than it is to burn it off. The best thing is simply a target weekly reduction in calories.

Yes, the key to weightloss is to burn more calories than you take in. I didn't mean the key to my weightloss would be exercising. I meant that exercising would be key in actually helping me eat less. I don't want to feel like the effort put forth to exercise was in vain.

Other key factors, for me, will be...

No fast food
Watching the sodium intake
No soda (I did this for well over a year. Not sure what made me decide to start drinking it again)
Low fat (not "no" fat, as some fat is healthy)

High fat, ultra low carb is the way to go if you really want to burn fat.
