I haven't posted in a while... I've been "dieting" since January 2010. I started out at 224, and lost really quickly at first. I knew I would eventually plateau, but I figured I'd be closer to goal when it happened. In August 2010 I weighed about 189. I am currently sitting at 180. I've been counting calories, 1200/day. I go over sometimes (today!), and other days I'm too far under.
I haven't been much of an exerciser. I know I need to start, and that I wouldn't be plateau-ing if I was getting up off of my rear end! I had a breast augmentation done on 10-20-2010. It's something I've wanted for 10+ years, and I figured now was as good a time as any to do it. Plus, I figured it might give me that extra motivation to get to goal.
My numerical goal weight is 145. I have NO idea what I will look like at 145. To be honest, if I could lose my lower belly pooch, and a little inner thigh flab and upper arm flab, I'd be happy with where I am. My new boobies make me look more proportional.
I'm not much of a cardio girl, although I like spinning. Thinking of asking DH for a stationary bike for Christmas. I can't jog/run or anything high impact at the moment because of the BA.
Anyways, enough about me... Anyone else currently in or been in a rut in the past? How did you break through it? I binged today, ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's Carrot Cake ice cream, among other things! I feel great... A far cry from where I was a year ago, but I'm ready to see the 170's, then the 160's, then the 150's.... then GOAL!
Any thoughts, advice, comments would be greatly appreciated!
