Hello. I am hoping to find a small group of people who have similar goals, routines, and weight loss to join me for my first 9 weeks to "reset" my lifestyle. I have previously lost 50lbs on a fad diet (HCG). I was very proud of myself when I did. However, here I sit, 10lbs heavier than when I started that diet in 2012. I'm 3000% ready to lose the weight for good (without the illness and weirdness that HCG caused me) and I expect it to be a long yet satisfying journey.
I have dealt with weight issues since I was 15 and have read A LOT about losing weight. In my opinion, it is very easy to do... But doing it is the real challenge. I don't have much patience so my plan is to dive into this and try to lose as much as possible within a reasonable time for normal weight loss. Over the past few months as my weight kept growing, I found myself going over in my head what I need to do to lose weight. Yesterday was the first time I acted on those conversations with myself. Finding someone or many people here that have similar mind-set and goals is important to me.
Here is MY PERSONAL 9-Week Plan/Stats:
5'9 - 229.6
For the next 9 weeks I plan to do the following:
I don't have a target weight for these 9 weeks. I just plan to work my ass off (literally). I use My Fitness Pal and I also have a daily checklist for my walked miles, water intake and stairs.
Hoping you want to join in this thread and be my buddy! Way too hard to get into an existing thread.

For the next 9 weeks I plan to do the following:
- Walk 1.5 hours a day (By Week 2 or 3 depending on weather I will start to rollerblade an hour/day instead)
- Complete 5 "stairs" a day increasing reps each week (4 Flights of Stairs at my office)
- Drink the recommended water intake for weight loss
- Diet: HIGH: protein, fiber, vegetables LOW: Carbs, Sugar, oils/fats
