Hi! I've read this forum for a little while but never started my own diary. I keep cheating myself by eating junky foods, so I'm going to keep track of them on here and hope that public embarrassment is a better deterrent. I have a pretty active lifestyle but I've been trying to lose 10 lbs for a couple months, and I'm sick of it. I'm down about 2, but there's 8 to go. So, without further ado, here's my answers to these beginning questions:
-- How much weight do you want to lose?
About 8 lbs to start - we'll see from there.
-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
By May 3rd (3 weeks) I want to have lost at least 3, preferably at least 5.
-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
Diet & exercise - no snacking, just what I get at meals (I'm bad about snacking) and no desserts (max of 1/day); 1600 calories/day (I think I need about 2000-2200). Cardio (running or elliptical, depending on weather/time of day/day of week) for 30-35 minutes at least, 3 times/week. And stretching every day!
-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
My legs, and how much better about them I'll feel if I weigh 8 lbs less. Especially if they're toned from running.
-- How realistic is your goal?
Very doable, as long as I keep to my plan.
-- When will you start?
First decided to lose this weight about two months ago, but restarting efforts as of dinner today.
Other than that, I'm a college student and a lacto-ovo vegetarian. I drink lots of milk and I eat way too much bread.
