Hello everyone. I stumbled upon this forum and registered in hopes that it will give me the motivation that I need to make the last little push toward my weight goal. I’m 33 years old, 6’ 1” and currently hovering right above 200 pounds.
In April ’08, I was the heaviest I’ve ever been at just over 230 pounds. After some serious lifestyle changes, lots of exercise, and closely monitoring what I ate, I was able to drop down to 195 pounds by the end of the summer. Once the Fall and Winter came, I wasn’t able to exercise as much as I did during the Spring and Summer months and I slowly started reverting back to some of my bad eating habits. However, I only put back on between 5 to 10 pounds by the time Spring rolled back around.
This Spring and Summer, I tried getting back into the same mindset that was successful for me last year but I constantly seem to sabotage whatever progress that I make. I know what I’m doing wrong and me joining this forum is an attempt to make me accountable to myself for the things that I know I need to do and the things I need to stop doing.
My goal is to get within the 185 to 195 window and maintain it. I would like to reach my goal before the temperature begins to drop too much. Hopefully joining the WLF family and participating in some of the group challenges will help me achieve my goal faster than I would have on my own.
