(46F, SW= 210lbs, 5%GW= 200lbs, CW= 208lbs)
Hi,
I wrote my last post April 6. I was feeling pretty down as I was getting back on my diet. My weight had plateaued 5lbs above my previous usual high. I am happy to say I have made SOME progress. My progress is slow in terms of actual pounds lost, but the changes I am making are BIG. Since starting this diet, I have accomplished 3 big achievements.
My first achievement is setting my weight loss goal 5% at a time. My actual goal weight is 165lbs, but I haven’t been that weight in almost 20 years. Not only have I not been successful in achieving my goal weight, I have also gained MORE weight. Setting my current goal at 200lbs is better because I WAS at that weight last year. So it’s easier for me to envision reaching it, maybe by summer. It helps keep my motivation up.
My second achievement is returning to the gym, specifically step classes. I have been going. It’s been a bit slow, but I’m sticking with it. It’s slow because I’m trying to balance my working out with my life. I am also trying to go because I want to. Making is something I look forward to and balancing it with my life makes it easier and more likely for me to maintain it indefinitely. I’m trying to make this a lifestyle change, not a diet.
My third achievement and the biggest. I’ve changed my diet. Diet has always been my biggest hurdle with losing weight. Eating healthy but also enjoying what I eat is a challenge. So I’ve been making my own bagged salads for work. I love them!! And it helps me not snack at work. It’s been going really well.
I’m currently only 2lbs down. But it’s been holding steady. I’m more interested in plateaus. I just wish my plateau was 40lbs less.
