Hello,
My name is Tonya and I started my New Year's diet 3 days ago. So far so good
.
I typically have to go on a diet at the beginning of every year so that I am willing to go to the pool and lake with the kids and be in my swimsuit. Unfortunately as soon as I stop dieting the weight just starts creeping back on. I usually get tired of being on whichever diet I am doing after about 4 months and start feeling like I look pretty good. This time I am determined to finally make it to my goal of 135 possibly 140 if I feel like I am looking a little to thin for my age (it has been awhile since I have been that low).
I just found out that my iron is extremely low and have been given a prescription by my Dr. to help get it back to where it is supposed to be I am hoping that as it increases I will be able to lose faster and have more energy to exercise on a regular basis.
Today at work, I found out that several people in my department are working on losing weight as well, so we decided to start a competition and see who can lose the most weight.
I always do better if I have someone that I know is going to be asking me how I am doing and can actually see the results as I lose weight, so this is a good thing for me.
I've enjoyed reading the different posts and have gotten some great information. I look forward to sharing each other successes as we walk through this together!
