This has got to stop….the insanity with my weight that is. I’ll introduce myself and hopefully become a regular here.
I am a 30 year old female with a teenage daughter and husband. I currently weigh 208# and am very very unhappy with not only the way I look but also the way I’ve been feeling…both physically and mentally. I am one of those women who spent most of her early years stick thin with absolutely no effort. I guess I was blessed with a super fast metabolism. I ate junk food, rarely “exercised” although I was very active and never gained a pound. I was about 110 in high school (actually too thin looking back…I’m not aiming for that again!). Now I just feel bad about myself in every way…the way I look, the way I feel, the way other people look at me. My husband has been great, supporting me the way I am, but I need to change for me!
A coworker recently lost about 40 pounds over 6 months by counting calories and exercising. She has inspired me to do the same. My game plan is:
1. Eat 1500 calories a day
2. Log all my meals and exercise time.
3. Exercise at least 20 minutes daily – probably walking at this time
4. Make healthy food choices – no more fast food!
I hope I can post here to get support and just keep track of where I’ve been and how things are going. I’ve been lurking and reading here for awhile and finally have reached a point where I am ready to join
I can't be this weight anymore! New here:)
Check out Fitday and The Daily Plate for great places to log your food and exercise for free. I use Fitday - it's a little annoying at first...but after you get your regular stuff entered in, it's a snap. I do SO much better when I log EVERYTHING. Even better when I log ahead of time and stick to it.
