Today is the first day of my change in lifestyle which will result in me being a healthier weight!
1.How much weight do I want to lose? I am currently 12st 8lbs. My final target is be a weight of 10st. My first goal is to achieve a weight of 11st 13lbs. My second goal is to achieve a weight of 11st 3lbs. At this stage my new lifestyle will be put in place.
Timeframe: 1 year from today 21-Dec-15
How to I want to accomplish this goal: I want a healthy lifestyle including a minimum of 30 mins exercise a day and a healthy eating plan. I want to use this forum as a support to reach this goal
Who or what can support reaching this goal:
I want to use this forum as a support to reach this goal and keep this goal in mind as a primary thought throughout the day.
I also want my husband and sister to support me.
I want my daughter to grow up with a healthy lifestyle with exercise as part of the norm and a healthy diet.
Most of all I want to do this for me, I want more energy and a more positive body image.
My goal is very realistic, I can do this.
I am starting right now.
1. Current weight 12st 8lbs
Current height 5'6
2. Ideal weight 10st
3. 4 month target 11st 8lbs
4. I want to lose weight for many reasons. I want to feel better about the way I look. I want to have more energy. I want to walk into a shop and not be limited to what I can buy because of size. I want to be healthier now so I can be healthier in later life. I want to live life to the full. I don't want to constantly hold my tummy in. I want to look at photos and not be disappointed with how 'fat' I look. I want to be fit. I want to be more positive. I want to have the strength and will to do this. I want to enjoy life as a new slimmer me.
6. Obstacles
Food, I love food. I need to plan out what I am going to eat during the day and stick to the plan. I need to prepare ahead of time. I need to do a weekly shop for healthy foods and not just random stops at the shop when I am hungry.
Will power is low, I need to have support around me
Lazy, I can easily persuade myself to start exercising tomorrow or start healthy eating tomorrow, that has to change.
8. Lifestyle Changes
Plan my week out in advance of what I am going to eat and what exercise I am going to do.
Set little goals and mini rewards to keep me motivated.
Make time to look after my health.
9. I had a baby last January and I have not been able to lose the weight. When I was pregnant I put on a lot of weight and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. In addition to this during pregnancy I found out my thyroid hormones are quite low. Since having my baby my thyroid gland fluctuated in the amount of hormones it produced and settled down recently, so I am on tablets for that. I spoke to my doctor and she said the thyroid issue may be slowing down my metabolism and that is why I am finding it difficult to lose the baby weight. It also is a reason why I am so tired. I am not going to use this as an excuse but as a reason I have to
work even harder. Before my pregnancy I was a healthy weight with no issues.
11. For me I need to stick to a plan. I have gone exercising a bit and eat healthy for a while. I just need to commit myself to this.
17. I will take a second before eating something and ask do I really want this?
I will plan out my meals better
I will eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. After that only snack on fruit, yoghurt, veg if necessary
18. I want a flat tummy and toned arms and no double chin.
19. I can't really remember what it feels like to be hungry, I just eat at meal times (too much obviously) and snack throughout the day.
20. Binge eat sometimes, that's why I try not to buy too much in the house, sometimes I just eat and eat and eat - not really even tasting the food.
21. I do not hide food or eat in secret
22. Yes, eat when sad, nervous, depressed.
23. Yes, eat as a reward.
24. Yes, eat when watching TV
29. I like to exercise, its just getting the motivation to exercise. I like all exercises, swimming, running, jogging, gym classes.
