Getting Back in Shape Log >> Week 19

Things are really looking up. Those aerobics interval training sessions seem to be doing a great job. I am off the plateau and weight is again dropping and dropping :) A major target has been crossed. I now weigh 189.5 pounds. I have so far lost 31.5 pounds since March 15, i.e. around 4 months. That averages 1.7 lbs per week!

My trainer further points that this weight loss occurred in concert with serious strength build up and lean mass gain. So bottom line I am fitter, leaner, stronger, and healthier. Quite wonderful.
