Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I have a few of them... depression meds, HUGE sweet tooth, binging when stressed, my parents' way-too-delicious cooking, being friends with young men who wolf down pizzas like no one's business... Following any specific plan: primarily veg'n, trying not to eat dessert/refined carbs, smaller portions/intuitive eating, exercising instead of eating when I'm bored and antsy What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I've never successfully lost weight in the past (true story) so this is probably my first long-term attempt! I'm serious about trying to find a workout/diet strategy that allows me to maintain a healthy, thin figure. Anything else you would like to share with us: I have mild PCOS and depression, and really unhealthy fat storage on a small frame, so even though I have a low starting weight and goal then most girls here, I'm definitely facing a lot of the same problems... and could always use more motivation to work out. Best of luck to everyone here! |
