How I did it! (posted in other group)

Dec 02, 2007 - Okay, so if you read my profile, you'll see I lost thirty pounds over the summer... well, someone asked how I did it, so I'm posting this in case you too are interested: Here's how I did it: For three months, I took kickboxing classes two days a week, did a cardio class with weight training in the class for two days a week, and then two other days I would jog or do the elliptical, both for at least a half hour (I built up my endurace/time/speed, etc.). I calorie counted, avoided tons of carbs, and ate whole grain and organic as much as possible. - 2 Comments
