Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I HATE VEGETABLES!!! with a passion. I find them so boring and such a chore to eat. I think i find the restriction of eating certain things the hardest thing for me in general.
Following any specific plan: Well for me no foods are permanently off limits except for soda ( diet and non diet), I limit my portions but nothing else is off limits. I try to avoid eating as much processed food, or fast food. sometimes I slip up. But I kick butt at the gym. I go every day for at least an hour and make sure I burn 500 -700 calories each time. my weight loss is 80% exercise and 20% diet.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Well I never really made a conscious decision to get serious about weight loss. Any other small attempts to lose weight were based on what others thought of me. This time I did this for my self. I was sick of feeling bad and looking bad. I had lied to myself for years saying there was no way I could lose weight, my genes are against me, blah blah blah, I just made the decision and now I'm determined to succeed.
