Hello all! I have been on this weight loss and better health journey for a few years now with more learning success than scale success. I’ve learned that small, consistent changes are what work best and that I need to be watchful of how many bad”treats” or “chest days” I allow myself as they tend to spiral out of control. Last year I managed to lose 20pounds but have gained it all back. I’m a 28F, 5’4, currently weighing in at about 170. I just ran my first half marathon and am now training for a full in December. December is now my goal month to lose 40-50lbs. The half marathon was hard but doable. But there is no way I can run a full at 170! My motivation for fitness is setting an example for my son, being actively involved in his life ( no sidelines for me), for quality of life, and so that I can grow old and go on adventures with my husband. Last week I cut out all refined sugar and today I will begin weekly weigh ins along with measuring. I have also purchased a planner specifically for health planning/journaling. My biggest issues in the past have been making things too complicated. So my rules this time around for the eating portion are really simple. 1. No refined sugar 2. Carbless dinners 3. Calorie counting at my BMR ( Currently 1700) For fitness I am beginning a preplanned marathon training 18 week course so that should take care of itself. I’m really excited to be here to share this journey with you all! I hope that my story can encourage others out there.
