How do I lose four pant sizes?

I’m in a similar boat now, unfortunately. “back in the day” I was about 3 sizes smaller than I am now, and unless I change something soon, I’ll be another size bigger (those “fat pants” as I call them have been getting tight).

So, here’s my game plan & I’ve been working on it for a while:

1. change my diet - in progress. More fruits, more vegetables, and smaller portions all around. Healthier snacks, too.
2. Exercise - and this is my sticking point. I can’t seem to fit it in most days, and I”m glued to the computer. Even 45 minutes of walking, 3-5 days a week, will make a huge difference & boost your metabolism.

The trick is, once you increase you lean body mass (aka muscle) you’ll burn more calories, even at rest or sleeping, than you will if you’re not as muscular. So push ups, sit ups, etc, are all on the agenda.

Tell you what: I’ve got about 18 pounds now that I need to lose, and I’ll post an update in a month. I plan on losing 6 pounds this month (by october 10th) and even more the following.

Post your “status update” and we’ll see who gets closer to their goal first, eh?
