Hi,
Today is day one of my journey to lose as much as I can before my Son gets married in July. I'm nervous but I can do this.. at least Today I CAN! I've just got to say that everyday. LOL :-)
Welcome to the forum! So glad you joined us.
Do you know what food plan you are going to follow? There is a ton of information about many different food plans on this site. Pick a plan that fits in your lifestyle and you can follow long term. I chose calorie counting because it is free and flexible. It allows me to eat almost anything I wanted as long as it fits within my calorie range for the day and there are ton of free apps out there to help you track your food.
Give up the sugary drinks and drink lots and lots of water.
Incorporate some exercise into your weekly routine. You do not have to join an expensive gym try to walk more, use the stairs more, download videos off of YouTube or Hulu.com to work out to. There are a lot of things you can to do with spending a ton of money.
Lastly, if you have a bad meal, a bad day, heck, a bad food week. Do NOT let this be a reason to throw in the towel. Get back on track at the next meal. You can do this!!!
Best of luck to you!
TodayIcan, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diet plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join!
Thank you so much NEMom and patchworkpenguin for the much needed comments. They were exactly what I needed.
As of now I don't have any specific food plan to follow. I always counted calories and did portion control in the past, and when I followed those I had success. So that's probably what I will be doing.
Thanks again for the comments!
New and ready to get to work..
