Hey everyone! I'm a newbie too and I'm just looking for a group of people around my age who are on this crazy journey, too. I'm not planning for an upcoming wedding or anything like that. My inspiration to lose weight came after my last doctor's visit when I hopped up on the evil monster that was to tell me that my weight and the lady told me I weighed 192 lbs! This is the most I've ever weighed, and I've decided to shoot for my high school weight again which was a healthy 160 which is right in range for my height. I'm 5'9".
I'm not using any specific diet plan. I couldn't do low carb/no carb on my life, and I don't want to have to add points to everything I eat, because I don't do math
. I'm working on the, "let's not eat a whole bag of chips in front of the TV after I get home from work at 10pm and then go to bed" plan. Basically, I plan to eat less, work out more, and drink tons of water instead of tons of Mt.Dew.
Good luck to everyone here! I hope I hear from you all soon!
