current weight 264 down from I think 267 like 2 weeks ago around the end of december I was close to 295

That's the right direction! Keep it coming off.

I have had a bad flu the last week of February , lost 6 kg in the first four days, and 3 kg more in the next days.

Managed to keep it off the first month after by eating less, now it is getting difficult to continue the good habits.

I think I'll be able to keep it off, as what I should weigh is probably around 210-220. also I have six days of practice a week, so I think that it will be fine.

Dropped another 3 lbs in the last two weeks. Last time I checked in (4/3), i weighed 228 lbs. Two weeks later, I'm at 225. Still erging 3 times a week, running two to three times a week.....

Now down 33 lbs since 9/15/05. Forty more pounds to go. By the way, in that time I have rowed 934,330 meters. Trying to make 1,000,000 by the end of this month......

Ack. Lucky biatchizzles.

You guys all sound like you're losing good weight - I've still been stuck at 143-ish for the past two weeks. I'm not quite sure when the last 5 pounds, as stubborn as they are, will come off. I'm getting kinda nervous though -- CSSRA's coming up in less than 7 weeks, and I'd like to be lightweight for that -- come too far to give up now.

I guess it's time for me to start adding in an extra hour of biking a day for the next little while..

Hopefully I don't drop dead from exhaustion.

Good luck guys!

I started cross-training a few months ago, and it has helped improve my times -- and burned off some excess calories at the same time. So go Girl!

henleygirl06,

Actually I have been stuck at 156lbs for a while--finally I dropped another pound.

My goal is 150 and I know these last few pounds are going to be difficult. Instead of focusing on how tough it is I am trying to keep myself focused on making my new diet routine a natural part of my lifestyle. I also think about the new clothes I will need as my current wardrobe is already too big.

Guess WHO! (is only TWO pounds off lightweight) ... yup you guessed right.. moi.

Celebration time, bring out the ice cream.

Oh wait.. it's already out. *sigh*

I have a question. If you're a lightweight rower, how hard is it to maintain weight? I've been eating junkfood like crazy for the past 1 month or so but I'm still dropping. I guess it all comes down to calories in vs. calories out...

I dunno. I find it weird to be eating till my stomach hurts and still lose weight. Example: Today as my pre-row snack, I had a whole pita bread, a nature valley almond crunch bar, and cottage cheese with strawberries. Oh yeah, and the relentless ice cream. Dinner was chinese food. Tomorrow I'll wake up and be 1 pound off weight.

I don't understand this.

WIOTW--155lbs.. No change from last week. I knew these last 5 lbs. would be difficult but I will persevere.

Persevere you must.

You can do this!

this is the first time i am posting so i hope i do this right and you can all understand me. i will try not to write a megillah...just the relevant facts.

i have a model C and have been rowing consistently since Nov 05. I worked up from 40 min at a heart rate of at least 130 to 60 min and i row about 5 days a week for a min of 60 min which usually works out to at least 10000 meters. i do intervals sometimes .. but all in all i make sure that my pulse is somewhere between 130 and 150 which is probably more than POLAR says you should do but my aerobic shape is good. when i go down from a fast minute to my slower 4 minutes it takes only about a min for my pulse to come down 20 points..... sometimes i just row without the intervals. i make sure to do this cardio religiously now and i am watching what i am eating pretty much as folks have outlined on this thread. i am a veggie as well.

im happy to report ive lost around 32 lbs since Nov 05 and my goal is to lose about another 50 which would put me back to where i was when i was a fit runner, before i tried to have kids and fertility meds put 50 lbs on me BEFORE i even got pregnant. i was somewhere around 130 but most importantly i felt really strong and healthy . oh yeah. i liked wearing normal clothes.

well back to the sad part of the story. the meds put 50 lbs on me...Then i had twins (only gained 42 lbs with two of them in there!) b ut still it was close to 100 extra lbs on my feet and since the birth of my twins there were at least 4 t hings wrong with my feet. 6 YEARS of physical therapy have left me with still some problems and most of the wt... and rowing the kindest exercise for me now.. i miss running but its not in the cards right now.

so , ive lost the 30 lbs ...yay. now im about 178 and in addition to 5-6 rowing days (60 min) i do pilates twice a week with a private person for a year now, and i feel i am getting much stronger. i did free wts in the past and am adding that back into my training about three times a week.

so any ideas about the rowing workout ITSELF now? should i do anything diff each day when i row other than the 60 min row?

i still have 50 lbs to go...that is alot of wt and doing 60 min of rowing what can i do differently now to keep the progress in a good direction and at a good pace? i think my body wasnt used to regular cardio but now its been 5 or 6 months and i dont want my body to habituate. i dont have that many options. ive been walking on the treadmill about one or two days a week but not more. i have had very bad plantar fascitis several times, i have unexplained foot neuropathy (nerve pain) which is burning and stinging constantly (its horrible. i dont wish chronic pain on anyone...) and a neuroma as well...so i HAVE to be kind to my feet.

when i do wts i use an elliptical traiiner for 5 min to keep the cardio level up and then alternate between two or three exercises and step ups so it makes about a 40 min aerobic session in addition to the rowing one earlier in the day. is this the right forum? the right thread? any ideas are welcome!

i am just so tired of these fat clothes. im out of my gargantuan clothes but tucking a shirt in would be a nice change.

one more question: i have a model c. can anyone tell me how the model D feels different if you have rowed on both?

sincerely, workinprogress.
