hey! i’m a 23yo female, 5’7 and currently 240 lbs. i would like to get down to around 145-160lbs, but the weight doesn’t mean as much to me as consistent progress does.
for most of my life i was very fit and active. starting about 6 years ago i began to gain weight pretty rapidly and consistently due to a lot of different factors. i’ve been above 200lbs now for around 3 years. i’ve lost weight just to gain it back because i’ve always been focused on the way i look, not getting healthy, so it’s never been in sustainable ways.
i recently had my first child and i’m just now starting to realize how truly unhealthy i am. my back hurts during the day, my legs and hips hurt at night. i don’t want to continue to not be at my best health. i want to be strong and feel good again. my son deserves a mom who is not only confident, but also healthy.
my question is where do i begin? i have no knowledge about sustainable weight loss, working out, what is too much and too little, if i should focus on burning calories or lifting weights, etc. do i start with a dietician? is this something i can formulate on my own? i’m really just looking for any guidance on where to begin.
also, i have PCOS and my gynecologist recommended a low glycemic index diet, this just feels important to add.
