[COLOR=Indigo]Hello! My name is Connie, I'm 29. I began my serious, for-real weight loss journey 2.5 years ago and I've lost 70 pounds and 70 inches. I "had" to take a break from weight loss in the middle because I needed surgery, and I ended up gaining some of the weight I had lost back. Kind of a bummer, but it motivated me to get to where I am in a way.
Without really intending to, I've been maintaining at about 213 pounds for about 2 months. I think my body and mind needed a break, a time to rebalance before continuing. Anyone else experience that?
Anyway, I'm ready to continue moving down the scale and I'd like to make some friends on this forum for support and maybe journal buddies. I'm a calorie counter (via Fitday), home/video exerciser (5-6 days a week, even during my break), and do my best to focus on veggies, fruits, lean proteins and whole grains (the less the processed, the better).
Today is Day 1 of full focus on weight loss, and so far so good! My first 2 of 5 meals today have been healthy and well-balanced and I got in a very sweaty, fun step workout.
I'm looking forward to getting to y'all!
Kindly,
Connie
