I don't really have a time-frame. I figure that if I lose it consistently and in a safe way, I will be able to keep it off. I'd love to lose 1-2 lbs per week, ideally. One of the ways that seems to keep me on track is calorie counting. I use MFP to log and keep track of everything I eat.

I'm currently 5'3 and came in at 218 lbs this morning. My ideal weight right now would be 135-140ish, I think. In four months, I'd like to be just under 200 lbs, if possible.

I have an issue with binging while watching Netflix. I would love to develop the habit of getting on the treadmill while watching a show instead of eating something while watching. I feel like I'm addicted to binge eating and eating unhealthy food that tastes good.

As far as exercising goes, I do own a treadmill and have access to a gym. I'd like to start slowly by walking at least three times a week for 30-45 minutes and progress from there. I feel like if I can make it a habit and can consistently work out for a month, I'll be on the right track. Here goes!!

Thanks to anyone who reads this! :)
 
Hey Miss Fit!

You must have the most awesome user name ever :D Welcome to the forum and congratulations on having realistic goals and plans. I´m looking forward to seeing you get fitter and leaner.

All the best, LaMa
 
Hi, Miss Fit & welcome to the forum. I love your username too. 1-2lbs sounds perfectly doable. Try to stop having unhealthy snacks in your home.It's better not to be tempted. Once you start making healthy changes & see the results you will be even more inspired to eat healthily. It takes a while to make new habits, but we can all do it if we really want to & I'm sure you can too.
 
Welcome! I agree with Cate on the user name and the temptation!! Out of sight out of mind and not in your tummy! haha.

Hope you find this place as wonderful as all of us have! :)

Today felt good! I might get on the treadmill later for a few, but I might not because I do have a few assignments due soon. :ambivalence: Not hungry at all as I post this, and am going to completely stop eating after 8pm, which is in 10 minutes. I'd say today was pretty successful.

You're welcome sweets. The weather is not great right now as we're coming into Winter, but it doesn't get too bad where I live. The other plus side is it doesn't get too hot in Summer either. I'm not straying far from the fire today though :)

Whew! I didn't think I was going to have time to write today, but I made time. I had class in the evening, so I had to eat later than usual, but I didn't let that hinder my progress and ate a nutritious dinner. I pretty much always oven bake my chicken, I don't really know of many other ways to do it besides grilling it, and I try to stay away from too much grilling because we own a charcoal grill and I'm weird about carcinogens. :ack2:
I also refrained from getting anything at the university commons area besides the Starbucks tea. Willpower!! It's a muscle!! lol

Side note: Am I supposed to be weighing myself every day? Weekly? Monthly? I think I'll try weekly unless someone can make a case as to why I should daily or not as often! <3
 
Some people get obsessive when they weigh every day, others find it gives them useful information about how their body works. In the end the number on the scale is not as important as how you feel (but my brain hasn't fully caught on to that one yet). Well done staying on path amidst temptation!
 
Thanks, everyone! I don't know if I'll be able to wait until monthly! I might be able to do every week or every other week. I guess I shouldn't worry so much about that as I should keeping on track with diet. That's my baby step right now, albeit a rather large one. :p I'll probably implement exercise in pretty soon and if I feel up to it. I was cautioned not to do too much too fast and I think that's good advice for me. Slow and steady wins the race. I just want these changes to become habit and lifelong. My calories were originally set for 1500 a day, I'm rather sedentary, and it seems like I am coming in just under 1400. I hope that doesn't hinder me in the long run. I don't feel hungry at the end of the day, though.

I hope everyone is having a great, successful day!
 
Your food is looking right on point! Great job.

I personally am a daily weigher but I only log once a week and I do skip some days but I am pretty consistent during the week. Weighing in daily works for me, it keeps me honest. I can mentally deal with daily fluctuations due to food, salt and working out. But it seems when I don't weight daily I spiral out of control fairly fast and all of the sudden I'm twenty pounds heavier. You do what's best for you, only you can figure that out.

Congrats on your success so far! :)
 
Whoops, I didn't update yesterday, but I was still on track! Here's yesterday's meals.

May 27th, 2016

Breakfast/Brunch
Protein shake - 1 scoop (chocolate)
Oven roasted bell peppers, zucchini, onion, garlic, and mushrooms
One large egg with wheat toast
Black bean and corn salsa - 1 tablespoon

Lunch
1 serving Maple and Brown sugar oatmeal
Slice of wheat toast with 1 tablespoon PB fit

Dinner
Oven baked chicken breast - 8oz
Baked Potato
Roasted veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)
Snacks
1 Dannon 80 cal Greek yogurt
1 Mozzarella stick
1 Claussen hot&spicy pickle spear
1 Homemade butterscotch chocolate cookie (My mom's recipe...sooo yummy)

Drinks
1 cup of coffee with Stevia and cream
2 orange sunrise water
H2O
1 mug french vanilla cappuccino

TCC = 1,398

Exercise
Walked around track about 3 miles - leisurely walk, not strenuous
(It was nice out and this didn't feel like exercise, I just wanted to go for a walk, not sure if that even counts, lol)
​
All in all, yesterday felt good! I was able to keep on track without much trouble. Sometimes I wonder what I was doing to completely derail myself if eating healthy isn't as terrible as I thought. I don't really plan on eating the same things every day, I'm just a creature of habit with the things that I like, and I really like everything I eat in a day.

Thank you for your reply! Your progress is amazing, and so inspirational! I hope to get there one day!
You're totally right about finding what's best for me. I think when I weigh myself daily, if I see a slight fluctuation in the wrong direction, I'm quick to get discouraged about it. Maybe weekly is best for me to keep me on track, but also not discourage me to derail during the week because "oh, I'm up a pound, this just isn't working, I'll just go crazy today" - and I've been known to do just this!
 
We all have done that Miss Fit, even though it is not at all logic. We never stop learning honey & that's a good thing. You're doing well!

Today felt good! Got all my calories in before 8pm and will allow myself a warm mug of decaf tea before bed to unwind. I usually read a book or try to study (although I'm the biggest procrastinator) while I'm drinking my tea. Makes me feel all productive...like I'm doing this adulting thing right. Silly, I know.
Monday morning will be my official weigh in day. I'm going to a BBQ Monday evening and will probably designate that as my 'fun' meal for the week. I'm not sure if anyone has any success doing a treat meal or fun meal...I might try it if my weight loss was successful for the week. I don't really feel like I need it right now, though. I just know if I'm around tons of good food, it might be hard for me to practice any restraint. :willy_nilly:
