Hello everyone.
 

Not quite sure how to start this off really....

This is my first time joining a weight loss forum, I found it through google. Anyhow I am a 27 year old female on a mission to lose weight. I used to be pretty fit at 120 lbs, unfortunately I let my self go. I first decided to lose weight when I found it hard to breathe and could feel my blood pressure rising. Then I weighed myself and my goodness!! I didn't think I had gained so much weight over the years, apparently I was wrong lol.

I calculated my calories, my intake is about 200 lower than needed at 1400. This gives me an extra 200 calories for the days I drop the ball if I do. I suppose I thought to implement a safety net of sorts. My diet consists of lean meats, fruits, nuts, vegetables, moderate fat and low carbs.

I will be training on an Indo board for exercise, as I used to skate board. I started gaining weight after I stopped skateboarding, and well let's face it.... I'm not going to be able to skate like I used to at 200 lbs. I chose the Indo board because it's fun, and my biggest fault in exercise is I stop/become unmotivated if it isn't fun.

To be honest I'm not sure I'm even doing this right lol, but I think if anything I am on the right track. Hopefully I can get support, pointers and advice here.

Sorry all for the long post.

Welcome to the forum! I sounds like you have a good plan.
Best wishes to you.

That wasn't long at all and it's good to see you have things all planned out! I'm still working on my plan. I know my calorie count and I do my best to stay within it! Having an exercise plan is awesome!
