I'm definitely a newbie to this site, and wanted to scoff at first, but the support people are giving is incredible! Like others I've read, I once had success at weight loss, but since coming to college, it's gotten out of control, and has become a constant frustration. I don't understand why it's difficult now, but there you go... I love to be active, healthy, self-aware, intentional, am known as a very motivated person, but this is one area I don't seem to let that show. SO...to begin this NEW BEGINNING, I'm going to post the answers to the six questions I found, and go from there!!!
1. -- How much weight do you want to lose?
20-25 lbs. (achieve weight of 130)
2. -- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
5 months
3. -- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
Running, walking, hiking, biking (real until fall break, then stationary), stairmaster, elliptical if necessary, weights, videos (Tae Bo, for example)
4. -- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
I don’t know.
Maybe…school dietician? fitness and wellness professor?
5. -- How realistic is your goal?
Very realistic, I believe, and have been told
6. -- When will you start?
