A little bout me
I am 23, and engaged to a great guy. Not planning to get married for a while, we both think we are too young. I live in sunny Queensland, Australia. I have been overweight as long as I can remember. I never really played sports, and never really got into exercise. I realized once my weight got above 100kg, that I needed to do something. I am a happy person, love life and my weight doesn’t stop me doing anything, but it is getting way too unhealthy. So when I turned 20 (after I gained the couple kilos) I started to look into health and fitness, what eat and etc. I know how too, I just need to do it! Which I am hoping this forum will help me motivate myself. Oh I added a few questions, lol.

~*How much weight do you want to Shed?*~
I have 30 - 35kg to begin with. Once I get there, I will see how I feel. I know my doctor said 55kg, I think that is mental. I would look like a stick.....

*~Non-weight related goal~*
To be able to jog, Buy cloths from any shop, and make exercise a part of my everyday life.

~*What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?*~
I have set 6 months, that is bout 5kg a month, which is a healthy weight loss.

*~How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?~*
I have lots of plans, lol. Big list writer. I need to exercise; I need to work out at least an hour a day. A simple walk to burn calories and cardio to get my fitness level up. I also am going to do weight training every other day, using my body as the weight. Simple changes in my eating habits, like not eating at my boyfriends work (McDonalds) :( but it's free....) and drinking loads of water, and not fizzy drinks.

~*Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?*~
Hopefully this forum will help heaps, as I will have people to answer too. And my website, which I will be updated once a week. And exercise and self control (whatever that is!)


*~How realistic is your goal?~*
I think they are, what bout you all?

~*When will you start?*~
Why put off for tomorrow, what you can do today. So I guess right now.

Sorry bout the bad spelling *chessy Grin* :eek: Anyways...
 
Hi Mickey!! Looks like you've got a good plan there! You can totally do it! Just take things one day at a time :)
 
One day at a time is a good plan! Cause yesterday was bad!!! i ate way too much, didnt exercise and didnt drink enough water. Today is going to be good!

So today is the begining of the rest of my life! I have decide to only step onto the scales once a week. Which will be today, saturday.

~*This Weeks Goals*~
  • Lose A kilo.
  • To Exercise Daily(cardio, Walking, and Toning(2nd day))
  • And to drink 3L of Water A day.
  • Make a weekly Meal plan, Using Change one guide lines.

*~Plan of Attack~*
I must exercise at 4pm each day, if i havent already!
Make a work out cd, slower tracks to warm up and cool down, and beater tunes for working out.

Phew.... I think that is all. Wish me luck, i will update daily to let you all know if i kept on track.

I did okay today, i ate too much chocy! That easter bunny is evil, EVIL I tell you! :eek: But i exercised and drank my 3L of water today. So over all, i did okay. I have to learn to eat before i get straving.... nearly ate the whole house this afternoon.
 
Oh that was a huge factor for me! I would skip breakfast, skip lunch, then graze from 3:00pm until bed time non stop because I was starving.

Now I *have* to eat every 3 hours or so or I become a raging.... ;)
Good for you for getting that exercise & water in :)
 
Got a easter Dinner tonite. Just going to eat slowly, and try and pick the best choices. I dont know where i am going to fit in exercise, i slept in and have to rush out now. Tonite after dinner, sounds like a plan.
 
Feeling a little lost, i cant seem stick to my goals. I'm eating all wrong, and I'm not exerciseing! I'm drinking water so i guess that is good. :( Okay, any suggustions on how to get out of this hole?
 
maybe you need to plan your meals in advance or just start writing them down here, i found that very helpful. it keeps me under control. write down what you eat for breakfast, lunch, snack...and be honest with yourself. once you start tracking what you eat you will be able to make proper adjustments. maybe you'll realize you're having too many bad carbs and just replace some things and you'll be on your way to healthyville :D
this journey takes time and dedication, but its a beautiful one. you're the only one who can change you.
when i started 3 months ago i was 107 kg, just like you :), now i'm 98 and scale is moving slowly but steadily. you can do it. you can!

If I over eat one day I try to make up for it the next day, eat a little less or what ever.

Also if I know I have a potential calorie disaster coming up like a meal out I try to have fewer calories over the rest of that day so there is more room left within my limit for the meal.

Good luck, im sure youll get there, just try again!
 
Thank you, I know i will get there. Just figthing the blues at the moment. i decide to make a monthly meal plan. I have everything planned for this week including snacks. i keep in my calorie allowence from change one book, for the day. For the next few weeks i will change it, till it fits perfect.

I have found i dont even know i am exerciseing if i watch one of my favourite movies or tv show while i am on my bike. I watch sliders last nite, and clocked 30 mins puffing away before i even relized. :rolleyes:

I am soo glad i join here, or i would have spent last nite eating chocolate and watching thrid watch, instead of trying to change my bad habits.
 
Thanks, i feel like part of the gang already... hehe. Well i am off to find my water bottle, he has gone MIA.... shifty eyes, he dont want rubber bands placed on him.
 
welcome :D Sounds like you have a nice plan set up :) Don't be discouraged by little things, it's the big picture you're working towards!

Today was an okay day. I didnt exercise as much as i wanted, was feeling a little funky, so i started then decide to stop, and just clean up a bit instead of a hard work. I have drunk lots of water, bout 2L's but i am aiming for 3, so still got a little more to drink before i hit the hay.....
 
Phew i am glad today is over! I drank lots of water i am not sure how much as i was out all day, but it was at least 2L. I had a huge fight with my boy, but i didnt eat! Which is a huge thing for me. We made up, and all is well. I am very proud of myself, :rolleyes:. Now the bad, i didnt exercise, but i was walking around most of the day, and ate a really bad dinner, but the no emotional eating is the best! Double exercise tomorrow to make up! Lol.
 
Was thinking about starting a local weight loss group, for the younger members of my community. Any sugguestion ? i was thinking meetin once a week for a weigh in, and maybe some group training? hmmm :cool:
 
Hi Micky,
I don't know anything about starting a weightloss support group, but I have started a suppor group in my area for home schoolers. I created a Yahoo email list, started spreading my word of mouth, put flyers up at the library community boards etc.

My biggest suggestion is to make sure whatever you plan, make it convenient for you. In the beginning, you might be the only one showing up until the group grows.

Hope you're feeling a bit better - it's hard when we've gotten in a funk - just know that each of those pounds (kilos rather!) will and CAN come off, just take it one day at a time!
 
Thanks, i will do that. i know a lot of the gurls at my boys work are looking to lose weigh so i might put a flyer up, and one the noticeboard at the local shop. :eek:
