Hi guys,
I'm returning to 3FC after a 7 month "break" that I hoped would help me, but in actuality I have never been more at a loss with losing weight. Unfortunately, I have regained around 20 lbs and I'm ready to move forward and start over. Time to take a deep breath, forget the past and try this again.
There are some events on my horizon that I would like to lose weight and feel confident for:
1. SIL's wedding on September 15th (hoping to be in the 170's by then?)
2. Friend's wedding on December 1st (would be nice to be in the 160's here)
3. 30th birthday on April 13th 2019 (ideally 140's, but more likely 150's!)
Since I've been away for a while I was wondering what do you guys do to lose weight these days? I'm not good at diets i.e. eliminating entire food groups or fasting because I just do not have the willpower! I am considering calorie counting again, but I've honestly struggled to keep on top of it when it comes to inputting dinners since I cook from scratch. My biggest weakness is grains: cereal, oatmeal, bread, tortilla chips, rice, pasta etc. My diet is practically entirely of grains so I know I need to work on cutting down significantly in that area and replacing them with vegetables. Does anyone have any tasty lunch ideas? I know I need to get back into exercise. I'm currently doing the Insanity Max program but doing the modifier since my body is weaker now! Plus it's summer and GA is awfully humid in summer for me to enjoy exercising outside.
Anyway, forgive my mega rant! I'm hoping to get to know everyone here and get my new weight loss journey started
