how long did it take you to lose 25 lbs before?
quite long at the start as i wasn't doing proper hiit cardio like i thought ( see earlier post)
since i changed to the steady state cardio it started flying off.
it is a large number but it is deceiving due to the excess water i'm holding.
i am just back from florida where i was roasting hot every day, i drank alcohol like a aa member the whole time, then i came back to scotland and did 2 12 hour shifts over the weekend - which always seems to add 6 pounds or so in water weight due to the heat i work in.
if i don't drop at least 7-10 pounds this first week with the water coming off i will be very shocked.
while i'm disappointed with the weight gain, i'm not under any illusions. i gained weight because i overindulged over xmas. i will get it back off much more quickly this time (by end of january hopefully) and be at least 175lbs by july 31st at the latest.
if i don't i'll terminate my account here - i'm that confident.
