And so we go....
Just some starter info:
Female, 25
Height: 5'3"
Starting Weight: 299.0 (01/16)
Current Weight: 294.0 (01/23)
Goal Weight: 125.0
Weight to Lose: 169 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 6 lbs
------------------------------------
I should start off by saying I have always been really bad about keeping any kind of journal. I'm hoping that I will be able to keep up with this one to use as a way of a food/exercise/experience journal. And maybe a place to vent a little frustration. : )
So I started my hard core dieting two weeks ago. I'm counting calories, which I've never really done before. It hasn't been too difficult, other than having to make detailed grocery lists and semi-planned ahead meals. And not getting to eat out very much.
Besides dieting I am also trying to exercise. I hate exercising. Hah. However I did put together a Gazelle Max (or whatever it is called) that was laying around useless in my parent's garage. I've already started to use it, and to my surprise it actually feels nice to use. I'd like to get to a point where I am exercising for 30 minutes in the morning and again in the evening during the work week. Weekends are always a little different, so while I will try and fit some time in I don't think I'll be able to manage the normal scheduled times.
As far as long or short-term goals... I honestly haven't thought too much about setting them. For me, every pound lost is a goal made. My initial goal was to get under 300 (I started to cut back about a month before my actual diet plan). So really I've already met one major goal. The one weight goal I am waiting, and have been waiting for since around middle school, is to be under 200. The first time the scale reads 199 I will be ecstatic. After that I think it will be just the 10 pound increments until my final weight goal.
Okay, I think that's enough of an intro. Probably too much. But such is life. : )
