Carolyn’s Progress Report

Carolyn has been losing about 1 pound per week since the inception of the challenge.  Though the numbers themselves might not seem that significant, Carolyn feels and looks great.  Her strategy is to use patience and experimentation, along with online tools to help her manage the logistics.  Here’s an excerpt from her progress report:

“My strategy is to plan my meals really carefully and keep an online food log. I’m using Fitday, which is OK but slow — I would be interested to know who has had luck with any others. It doesn’t just track calories, but breaks things down by carbs, fats, proteins which is really helpful … I do eat meat, all kinds, but mostly now chicken because of the calories. I’m trying not to drink during the week, but not all the way off the wagon. I find that if I really pay attention, plan my meals ahead and don’t get too starving I can control my hunger and my eating pretty well.

I’m on the three day a week plan at the Ice Chamber and try to get 45 minute runs in on at least one weekend day.”
