Default One pound at a time

Hello Everyone!

I've seen this website a few times, and I finally
took the plunge and became a member.

I see this as a way to
  • get inspired,
  • share my progress, and
  • stay motivated towards my goal.

My goal is to lose over 100lbs.
While the number is large, I remind
myself that there are many people
who have lost 100+lbs. Therefore,
I should be encouraged by their success.

I realize that my past attempts to lose weight
have fluctuated for three main reasons: motivation,
discipline, and consistency. I'll spend more time
taking deliberate actions to overcome each those challenges.

What's Next?
  1. I'll finalize my nutrition plan and exercise schedule tonight.
  2. I plan to motivate myself by creating a vision board on pinterest of what my ideal body is and I plan to include the healthy food recipes, exercise tips, and nutrition information.
  3. I will write a blog post twice a week to chart my progress and to share candid progress updates as well as weekly images.
  4. I want to challenge myself to come up with 100 reasons why I want to lose weight, something I can refer back to on a daily basis. I want it to remain top of mind.


Questions
  1. Do you motivate yourself daily?
  2. Whose story has inspired you to reach your goals?
  3. How has this website benefited you?

Thank you Misti for the welcome!

I like how you've posted a long term goal ticker as well as a short term ticker. It encourages one to focus on the smaller goals. Reminds me of that phrase, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." I'll definitely focus on creating short term goals to motivate myself.

I am still familiarizing myself with it.
I'll resume by reading success stories.

Thank you Mozzy for the welcome.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far!
I like how you set mini goals for yourself.
It really is easier to lose 5lbs 20 times.

Welcome!!!

I love the 100 reasons idea and may have to steal it!

I have strayed from my weight loss goals in the past, but have always found myself coming back here when I decide to get serious again as everyone is so understanding. Many share in my experiences and it is wonderful to be able to relate to others when I feel like I'm surrounded by people at home that don't have a clue. There are tons of inspirational stories on here that I love to look at whenever I start feeling down.
