I bought a Concept II model C last October via Ebay. It sat on my porch until December, when I started and haven't stopped except for the month of April, when I moved from Wisconsin to Rhode Island.
I weighed 298 lbs in Dec. and am now down to 252.
I think the precipitous weight loss has ended and now is the point where diet and the right erg. program will start to pay more dividends.
I'm usually doing 10k every other day and posting times around 40 mins. I almost broke 39 mins on Monday...so I'm getting there.
This site is great and the tips on diet/routine are awesome. Kudos to all you guys who are "already there." I'm on my way, one stroke at a time!
derrickri,
Welcome and good luck. I have found that the combination of diet and exercise has helped me lose the weight I wanted to lose. I want to get down to 150 and am finding these last 6 pounds to be very difficult.
Still, I have lost over 30Lbs. and am happy with my progress. Avoiding processed foods, especially white flour foods, was the key for me. I don't row to break any speed records but follow the method of Dr. Philip Maffetone--monitoring my heart rate and keeping it below the anaerobic threshold.
I look forward to see your progress.
Again, good luck,
