Well Here I am hoping this is the start of a personal victory.

I am about to turn 34 and 5"3 and weighing in at 274lbs. The biggest I have ever been was a size 26 weighing in at 276 about eight years ago and I am currently in a 24. I have always been between a 12 and 24 normally. I have lost weight a few times but the tricky part is I dont know how it just happened and when I try to lose I get no where or gain. This is why its such a struggle for me. I am hoping having this forum to turn to will help me achieve goals, and keep motivation.

They say I should be around 130 but I would be happy to see 160-70. This is my ultimate goal. I am hoping to achieve this in a year to 2 years. I would like to be down to around 250 in April.

I am going to start by making my portions smaller, add more veggies and be more careful of the choices I am making. I also,plan to add at least a hour to 2 hours of exercise a week to my routine.

I know I have to overcome being an emotional eater. If I am doing well at diet and exercising I tend to get knocked out of the game with emotional eating. I am working in being more aware of what and when I want to eat because of this. I have started to find other ways to distract myself from eating. I also, have a problem with staying on track because as much as I love my family they are not near as supportive as I need. My hubby is all for if that is what you want do it and I believe in you can but the train stops there. He is not changing his habits as much as I need. God love him he tries but then it seems hes starving and then binges himself. I have several friends that would be supportive but they are also very overweight and just don't take it seriously. The friends I have that are greatly supportive and would work out with me and help me stay on track have such crazy schedules we really can't get together the way we need. So I feel alone in this journey.

I am planning to start my journey on Jan. 5 when my kids go back to school and we can return to a normal schedule. I thought I would start this now so I can get a handle on how this works. So here goes nothing or at least nothing but lbs!!
 
Hi. Welcome. I am new also. Starting mine on new years. You are not alone in this journey. We are all in it together. To help and motivate each other.
 
Hey P, welcome to the club! I think your goals and strategies sound very realistic, that's a great start. Best of luck on your journey :) LaMa.
 
Hi PS & a great big welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a very positive plan. We'll help by being your support team. We are all similar in a lot more ways than you would think. Welcome to our little part of the world. Cheers, Cate
 
Welcome! You are not alone we are here to support you. I'm an emotional eater too. My best tip for not overeating unhealthy foods would be to not buy them.
 
250 is very possible by April, probably even way more depending on how well you hold true to yourself. Water weight will shed first and then you'll have a ratio of muscle/fat going depending on what you're doing. The more you have the quicker some of it comes off in the beginning too. So 250 is very possible. You're not alone, just have to wait it for yourself, the rest of us are here to help in any way that we can! You can do this and you will do this. Are you making good choices between now and when you officially start?
 
I have started with a few such as starting the down sizing of portions and changing out the bread that I use and really looking at the food I am eating to get a better idea of how they will need to change even more.

Very good, we need to know where we are if we want to find our way anywhere.
 
Well measuring tools ready.Fruits and veggies bought minus one bag of apples that the kiddoes already chomped down.lol. New battery in the scale. So I think i'm just about ready for Tuesday.Hmmm, I just wonder if I am forgetting anything?
 
:) You always forget something, or at least I do. Good kids, for annihilating apple goodness!
 
You can always go back to the store if you forget something, but I hope you don't have to. You reminded me my scale needs a new battery, thanks.
