I LUV MY PRIUS!!!
Love the idea, but it's a litte late for me to join in. I started to get my lazy ass of the couch at the beginning of 2011, and I have lost 30,7 kgs until today (from 114,0 to 83,3 kgs) by eating less in general, eating healthier stuff, regulating the carbohydrate input and doing some sports. Nothing serious, just some brisk walking here, taking the stairs instead of the elevator there. Generally, I tried to be as least efficient as possible to be forced to move as much as possible. I just lived by a simple formula: everything counts! Every extra move you make will make you use energy. People have laughed at me for that, but my success is proof enough that in the sum, it does make a difference, the difference.
I have done some jogging lately, but I am pretty useless at it. Cycling however is my thing. Just this weekend, I made a trip to my dad's house with a total distance of more than 100 km. I covered this distance in less than 6 1/2 hours. If you do that regularly, you can laugh any type and amount of stairs right in the face. So besides making every step count, I simply changed my eating habits. I ditched the very worst stuff for better versions (diet coke instead of regular coke, Pizza with tuna and onions instead of salami with extra cheese, avoid any kind of mayonnaise and gravy if possible (if not, simply minimize the amount), avoid deep-fried stuff, and so on. I also decreased the size of each serving. My stomach started to shrink, and so I was full earlier. Again, a lot of little steps which made a big difference.
Everybody, and I mean e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y, can do that. There's no witchcraft, no hidden deeper meaning, no predefined fate. It's all in your head. I wrapped mine around it, and I wish all of you the willpower to do just the same.
