Weight Loss and Nursing School... am I crazy???
Hello all,
I am a 24 year old nursing student who has struggled with my weight for 24 years. I have "dieted" since middle school with varying success. I have not weighed under 200lbs since my freshman year of high school and I desperately want to change that! I currently weigh in at 275 lbs
Like I have before, I will be Calorie counting with daily weigh ins. I have a HUGE time issue and I am not yet sure what I will be able to do exercise wise. I do have a fitbit and try to reach 10,000 steps a day and burn 2,800 calories each day. even with reaching this goal daily I haven't seen any results and can only assume it is my diet! I have calorie counter and the lose it app, so I have all the tools in place. I simply need to carry them through. (Like that is a simple thing to do!)
My biggest problem seems to be loosing motivation (usually with my monthly cycle) and not sticking with it. I am also hoping to find a good support system with this site. My big goal is to reach 145 lbs, but I know that I also need small, frequent goals to keep me on track. I haven't set a mini goal yet, but I am still finalizing my plan. If anyone has any tips, suggestions, etc. I will be more than happy to hear them!
I look forward to getting to know everyone and supporting each other through this journey!
