Yet Another Newbie

  • Hello all. I completely suck at losing weight. I'm dreadful at dieting, I rarely last a week, and the only time I've ever lost more than 10 lbs was when I caught some bug that didn't let me keep anything down for a month. Then I gained it all back. I've never had much in the way of self-control and I eat when I'm stressed, so I'm hoping that if I find a group on here that I'll feel like I have the support I need.

    I have an account on Fitocracy, and I'm looking for a buddy who is also putting major focus on exercise and has around 100 lbs to lose. I'm currently doing P90X, although I struggle with Plyometrics and Yoga. I like lifting weights. My goal is to lose 35 lbs by Christmas, although that may be setting myself up for failure. I'm not sure.

    I know that diet is the major part of the equation when it comes to losing weight, but I haven't decide what type of diet I want to pursue yet. Right now, I'm just cutting portion sizes. I'm trying to change my attitude so that I have a more positive outlook on this whole weight loss thing and life in general.

  • Quantum Sheep, I adore your screenname. That is fantastic.

    Working on changing your attitude is pretty much the perfect place to start. You don't have to have it all figured out on day one in order to succeed. Good luck finding what works for you! You can do this!
