Default Ready To Lose It In 2012!

ByeBye Excuses!!!

I'm the one that always gave in and stopped doing the exercises.. The one that gave in and got the fast food.. But this time, it's different.. It has to be! I have more goals than just losing the weight, Im ready to add to my family and the weight is putting a huge hurdle in the way of that. I want to be healthy and be able to run around with my future children.

I am 31 years old and currently weigh 275, I would never tell anyone that before. I've made resolutions in the past to lose weight, but this time I have someone that's doing it with me and I hope that it helps me keep on track. I'm at my highest weight ever, and my body is starting to feel it. I get home from work and my feet are killing me, I have no energy to do anything and I just want to lay around and do nothing on my days off.. My boyfriend of 4 1/2 years said to me that we are going to do this, and he wants me to be there with him. He doesn't have as much to lose as me, he's not even overweight, just wanted to get muscle. So the weight loss part of it is all about me.. Im making small goals for myself, and each time I hit them I will make another, it seems to go better that way. I was on this site once before, and everyone helped me in so many ways! So I just had to come back to the place where I got the help and support to help me get through and make my goals again! Im ready to lose this weight in 2012! no more excuses! Only crushing the goals that I set for myself!!

Welcome to the forum! It's great that your boyfriend is joining and supporting you through this journey!
Do you know what food plan you are going to follow? There is a ton of information about many different food plans on this site. Pick a plan that fits in your lifestyle and you can follow long term. I chose calorie counting because it is free and flexible. It allows me to eat almost anything I wanted as long as it fits within my calorie range for the day and there are ton of free apps out there to help you track your food.
Give up the sugary drinks and drink lots and lots of water.
Incorporate some exercise into your weekly routine. You do not have to join an expensive gym try to walk more, use the stairs more, download videos off of YouTube or Hulu.com to work out to. There are a lot of things you can to do with spending a ton of money.
Lastly, if you have a bad meal, a bad day, heck, a bad food week. Do NOT let this be a reason to throw in the towel. Get back on track at the next meal. You can do this!!!
Best of luck to you!

Thank you all for the awesome welcome!
As far as food plans, Im not really sure at the moment. I'm going to start by watching what I eat and cutting back. I will start keeping a food journal to see exactly where my problems are. I don't drink soda or sugary drinks, and I'm also not a big candy eater. I drink lots of water, that's pretty much all I drink other than milk and OJ. I'm really pushing to lose this weight in 2012, mini-goals will be my friend!

Hey!
I just wanted to wish you 'strength'. Not 'Good luck' because anything you achieve is all your hard work, and doing. You'll be so proud off yourself
I've just started too. The support seems amazing!
Best wishes x
