The Broken Quest

[BrokenHearted]

Greetings and Welcome to my thread. ^_^ This is where I will be keeping track of my weight loss progress and tactics. I welcome people to come in and chat with me on this journey.

Why am I doing this? Well besides the fact that I've been chubby for years and was bullied for it in school, it's just time to do something about it. My motivation includes a free vacation I won on the radio recently. It's amazing....4 days/3 nights, free accommodations, airfare, food and drink. I have my choice of three locations - all amazing. I wish making the decision on which location to choose was the hardest thing I know I'm going to face. But it's not true. The hardest thing for me will be feeling comfortable in a virtual paradise because of my body. This is something that needs to change before I go...I don't want yet another trip with no pictures of me because I can't stand to look at them.

So......my goal is to lose weight - mainly in the theigh and abdominal areas.

Height: 5'6"
Starting weight: 165 lbs
Goal weight: 125 lbs

Hi! Welcome to your diary!

Congratulations on winning such an AWESOME prize!!! Wow

Have you checked out any health sites to see what a good weight would be for you? I am just 5'4" and very happy to finally be DOWN to 165 lbs! I am aiming for around 150. You have a couple of inches on me!

I also wonder if you have any specific plan in mind for losing. FitDay.com is a great place to find out about calorie stuff.

Best wishes to you on your journey! Post some pics so we can see your before, during, and after shots!

Cheers
ABBA

Congratulations on making a decision to change what's bothering you about yourself. I've recently done the same thing, and I know how hard it can be. If this is something you want to change for good, then you'll find a way to do it--but bear in mind that the best success (as I've learned from all these disciplined, motivated people around us) is to start thinking about permanent change in your habits.
