My goals;
To lose these twenty-five pounds I have been fighting with all year and to keep it off!
My vows;
I vow not to consume overly excessive amounts of alcohol. I vow not to eat more than 1200 calories a day. I vow to do some sort of cardio for at least 30 minutes every day! I vow to go to the gym at least 3 times a week for weight lifting.
Most of my clothing is a size 6/8. I did have a few pairs of 10s left for ya know those days during the month when I morph into psycho lady… Now, these last twenty-five pounds and I have been fighting since March. In March I was back down to 137! Then I got comfy and started eating junk again, and drinking again. Well the weight went back on fast and today I’m done. Today I could not get my big fat ass into a size 10. I <cry> had to put on my maternity pants <still crying> to run to the store to get some baby food. <yup still crying>. So no more excuses. I am taking back control of MY body.
I’m sorry Brad, I know that you have gotten accustomed to and quite found of my larger breast at this heavier size, but finally being able to fill a C cup is no excuse to become a fat ass.
So today is day one of my journey. Today is the day!
Current Weight: 158
Goal Weight: 125
Realistic Goal Weight: 135
I will weight myself every Tuesday and post about my progress. If you are wanting to join me and fight the fat, then comment below and we can encourage one another to stay on track. I WILL GET MY BODY BACK!!!
Well you’ve got my support! Over the weekend, I put on my wedding gown just (for fun — it was our 17th anniversary.) I couldn’t get it zipped and I know exactly why — my daily consumption of 3 oreo cookies w/whole milk, 1 glass of wine and several partially eaten cheese sticks (thank my little girly for that one). So I’m cutting those out and hoping to get this 10# off by Thanksgiving. I will NOT be a paunchy middle-aged mom!!
Good luck to you!!! Keep me posted. I know that we can do this.
Oh…good luck to you! The biggest step is having a plan! I have a couple of questions for you, if you don’t mind. Did you talk to your doctor about a 1200 calorie/day diet? Have you read up on an almost carb-free diet and the effects it will have on your energy level and your mood?
In my past life (lol), I was a personal trainer and did an awful lot of reading on weight loss, diet plans, getting into shape, etc.
1200 calories a day is not a healthy caloric intake for women and, I fear, almost impossible to maintain for any length of time. I admire your goals and your dedication to them, but I am hoping that if you aren’t able to maintain this current method, that you won’t beat yourself up too much. You can do what you have your mind set on, your plan on how you will get there just may take some tweaking along the way.
I’d love to talk to you more about this – so I’ll be back to read your updates!
1200 calories a day for my body is excatly what I need. My goal weight times 10. That is what every weight loss doctor I have ever talked to has told me. I know how to eat right and live well LOL It’s the putting it in motion I flake out on. As I love sweets, cakes and rich wines LOL. I have taken nutrition class after class, and have also read just about every diet book out there. My biggest thing is keeping weight off. I can get down to 130 in the next 6 weeks. I’ve done it before. My problem is not making it a lifestyle change, so once i reach my goal, I hit the freezer and grab the Klondike bar LOL. Or start baking again. My biggest down fall is not enjoying my sweets in moderation. I seeriously can eat a whole batch of brownines in one sitting while catching up on the latest tv show I missed. That is where I lose all self control. But I am working on that. I know the key to any lifestyle change or diet is not to cut your treats out but to enjoy them in moderation.
I’ll be keeping everyone updated on my journey!
