So here is a brief rundown on me. I'm in my late 30s and SO VERY tired of being overweight. I have the best of intentions and plans. I even have some great ideas and thoughts. But, I can't ever translate anything into an actual routine or actually stick to healthy eating.

I'm glad I found this site. I'm looking for advice, tips, and mostly some people who would like to be accountability buddies.

Please say Hi. I look forward to seeing what I can make of this journey!

Thanks for reading.

Hi and welcome!

Do you have any ideas about what weight loss plan you will use? I'm basically counting calories but I'm eating mostly what is on the old weight watcher's core plan.

I started one step at a time. I started with my food changes and now have started to incorporate exercise. My exercise consists of walking my dog in the evenings. I just want to get where I'm doing that every day and then I want to start the C25K plan.

There is a lot of information on this site! Good luck

HI.

I don't have any particular eating plan in mind but there is a beginning running program that I want to start tomorrow. It will have me walk/running 3 times a week.

I also want to try drinking a gallon of water a day. I don't drink enough water.

I'm also trying to cut out the sweets that I normally pile in.

I have seen that there is a lot of info here. There is a lot to sort through.

Thanks!

Hi Domminite,
welcome!

What exactly is your idea of what an accountability buddy should be doing?

Good luck with reading through the forum, there's a lot of useful information here!

It sounds like if you have a good starting plan. Just hang in there and don't give up!!!

Hey there, Domminite4!

I've found technology to be my best friend lately. I highly suggest buying a heart rate monitor (a watch/chest strap, there are relatively inexpensive ones that are great) and using it in your workouts. This will give you an accurate idea of calories burned and you can literally see your heart getting healthier! Great motivation!

On another note, I've just joined 3FC too and am looking for an accountability buddy to chat with once a week more or less (e.g. via google chat). If you're interested, contact me!

best of luck!
