Newbie looking for support and positive people!
Hello folks of 3 Fat Chicks! I'm new to the site, new to this type of forum in general, but I thought I would give it a shot! We can use all the support we can get right? I started my weight loss journey about 7 weeks ago! I've been sticking to a diet of 1200 calories or less per day, and making sure to eat plenty of healthy foods! I choose organic fruits and vegetables, whole wheat grains and pastas, and lean meats for my meals. I generally eat 4-5 times a day. At least 2 meals, with snacks in between to keep my metabolism up. It's amazing how much variety and interesting foods I've found so far! I thought it would be difficult to stick to a diet (I come from fast-food, comfort, grease loving stock), but I love it so far and I am confident I will finally succeed! I am not out to just "lose a few pounds quick" and I am certainly not going to do the "fad diet" thing. It's never worked for me in the past. I am doing this to change my lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight permanently! So here I go! I have also been working out at least 3 times a week, cardio and strength training. The exercise is the hardest part for me, the part that I need the most encouragement to continue. I'm down 12 pounds so far, with my weigh-in and measurements tomorrow! I record them every Saturday. So, tell me about yourself and where you are in your weight loss journey! I may not be able to check this often, so please don't be offended if I don't reply right away. Will be nice to hear from you! Let's keep it up! We can all do it! And please feel free to post ideas that have worked for you!
