Hi All! I have just signed up to this site today. I did a diary on another weight loss forum site and it didn't go so well. So here I am trying again....why? Because something in my life needs to change. I have always been big, but the last few months I have been noticing a huge difference in my health. I have been having a lot of heart palpitations and sleepless nights, my joints ache all the time and I get out of breath just going up the stairs with the washing basket.

Well, no more. I have to change something otherwise I am going to be in my coffin before I reach 40!

So...I currently weigh 255lbs. This is my highest, I have had a couple of spells where I have dropped down to about 220lbs, but it nevers stays off for long and I return right back to where I was.

My target weight if I wanted to get my bmi to below 25, is 152lbs. But thats not my target. My target is to get down to 200lbs. I can then re-set my final goals.


I work in accounts and live in the countryside with my 3 horses, 3 dogs, 2 cats and my fiance.
 
Welcome to the forums. You are wise to set smaller goals, then when you reach them you can re-evaluate and set new ones. Just knowing that you need to do this for your health should be a big motivation to keep going. The more weight that you lose, the better you will feel...I can guarantee it!
Good luck!

Congrats on your decision to change.
Got a plan yet?
I share a little formula with my friends on here and it is so true. Here it is:
Activity leads to results leads to satisfaction leads to activity.It is soooo true Its like a positive snowball.....good luck and get busy making it happen
 
Thanks guys. It's good to be able to bounce ideas off people. I really have no idea where to start?

I've tried lots an lots of fad diets. I've done slimming world, weight watchers, calorie counting, atkins, cabbage soup...the list goes on.

But I guess I should just focus on the good old - less calories consumed, more calories burnt.

I do very, very little exercise. Yesterday I was knackered just doing some housework. It disgusts me, but I just can't seem to get motivated to do something about it? I guess Im in a rut and need to haul myself out.

Weight this morning is 254.5lbs.

Oh also, I know I don't drink anywhere near enough liquids. So I must force myself to drink my 2 litres a day.

Good luck for the week ahead everyone! x
