How much weight do you want to lose?

I would like to get down to 200lbs. I believe this would be a very healthy weight for me and would allow me not to look hungry. Although, it would be a huge change, i am ready for it. I believe this weight loss would permeate all aspects of my life and I would benefit greatly.

What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?

I would like to lose about 50 lbs in 6-8 months and all 80 lbs in one year! I believe this is a fairly aggressive goal, but I see no reason (besides injury) why I couldn't complete this timeframe.

How do you want accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?

I have started seeing a nutrionist and a trainer. I plan on losing this weight by eating a well balanced 1800 calorie plus exercise work out regimen. I should be working out 5 days a week. Cardio all five with weight lifting on 2 of those days (major muscle groups).

Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?

My family is very supportive as are my friends. I am going to a nutrionist and a trainer. This is something I am very passionate about and I sure hope to be able to get some really good results. I am keeping a food diary and meeting with nutrionist weekly.

How realistic is your goal?

I believe it is within reach, BUT it is going to be very hard. But I know I can do this. I have to do this. I am fedup with being fat and I am ready to make some serious changes. I cannot wait to be healthy and thin.

When will you start?

I started on 1/10/2007. THis is not a new years resolution, this is a promise to myself to eat better and to take better care of my body. This is my life and I am ready to take control.
 
Congratulations on starting your dairy!! It looks like you're really thought this out and have a solid plan in place. Good luck with your goals!! You CAN do it!! :D:D
 
Thanks pequin. I am really excited! This is something I have been thinking about for awhile, but now I must impliment it. In college I smoked a lot of weed and drank a whole lot. Now that both of those vices no longer play such an important role in my life (very small and indeed in serious moderation). I am really amped, but finding the serious motivation is going to be tough. That has always been my downfall!
 
I just came back from lunch. i went to subway, got a 12inch sub on wheat. I ate the whole thing...bad bad...um, i didnt get any cheese and loaded up on every veggie excpet black olives. not that i dont like them, but you get the picture...oh yeah it was turkey and it was good...this is only my third day, so i am having trouble switching to such smaller portions... my life has been characterized by eating a lot of food, pretty much untill my stomach hurts..

i am slowly learning how to eat again, plus my ridiculous nutriionist is going to try and help me keep on track
 
wow, so i went to the nutrionist last night, weighed in and havent lost a pound...granted i cheated bad...ate late at night, ate a whole pizza in a moment of weakness over the weekend (munchies). only worked out twice in seven days. I need to get serious, i need to know this isnt going to come easy, but the more will power and determination i have the easier it will be....help
 
i have had a great morning today...egg and toast this morning...for lunch i had two fat free hot dogs, small salad with little lo fat dressing..healthy choice chciekn soup and a small apple....eating healthy makes you feel so healthy...going to the gym tonight and I am really excited about it
 
Hi there! I just came across your journal and thought Id say hello. I know the struggle of eating lower portions is hard. I do think that it is an addiction and our body craves it, even though we dont NEED to over eat. Just try to tell yourself that YOU control the food, dont let the food control you! Love yourself more than you love the food! Eating healthier and exercising will make you feel sooo much better than binging and having that heavy sick feeling afterwards! I've managed to stay on track for almost 3 weeks now and I feel soooo much better about myself, physically and mentally! You can do it! Good luck and Ill be checking in on you!
 
Paully, don't worry. It's hard to get started. And it's hard to unlearn many years of out of control portion sizes.

How much water are you drinking? That'll help, too.
 
hey there paully......just seen your diary. glad ya started one!!
don't be to hard on yourself over portion controll and stuff......for starrters just concentrate on the small changes you are making...eating healthier and becoming aware of when you are overeating......ect. Are you stepping up your water intake??? How is the exercising going?? well anyhoo good luck with your venture and keep on posting you can do this man!!!

man, this is awesome. I have a good support system here, but most of my friends are thin and dont have weight problems, know what i mean!!! Well, I did good last night but i got the munchies late at night. I smoke marijuana occasionally and have a real problem controlling my appetite. I know it is mind over matter, but it is something that is a challenge to me. I use it medicinally for anxiety and I find it a great help, but the appetite stimulant is a real pesky side effect. I went on a 45 minute intense bike ride last night and felt great, had a small glass of wine and went to bed. Eating late at night is the bane of my existence, but I am becoming better at that. I really am. It is going to be a hard test, but I think i can do it. I feel better waking up in the morning not in a food coma fromthe night before....

I am getting ready to go on a trip to see moe. two nights this weekend. I will be on the road and staying in hotels so it is pertinent that I prepare in advance for food and eatinghealthy...when you follow bands around and are on the road, it is easy to stop by for fast food...that is my goal for the weekend...eat good!!!!! thanks for everyone support
 
toady has been good so far....trying to become more aware of my body and even when hungry not letting myself make bad decisions...going to work out hard tonight and go play some poker with my friends...eat a sensible dinner as well, know what i'm saying yo...
