Hi all -
I'm 36|f and 5'8", starting this journey at 280 lbs. Goal is 190lbs within two years and to maintain that weight for the rest of my life.
My weight has gotten totally out of control, and I need to take my life back. I accept I need to completely overhaul my life to fix this problem.
I went through a divorce this year, and am now living alone. I live a lucky life, a good job, finances are decent, network of friends that I have active things to do with that are not just drink/eat... I have a good setup. I live in a walkable city, I ride a bike, I have a exercise equipment (peloton, many kettlebells), I have a nice social strength training gym I go to 3x a week, and a yoga studio I love I go to 2x a week.
I am so, so, so sick of carrying around this extra weight.
My plan is to focus on structured 3 meals a day with an optional 4th smaller meal if I am hungry from being extra active that day, fasting between means (no random snacking), cutting way way back on sugar and flour, and prioritizing produce, lean proteins, and healthy fats that I prepare at home for the large majority of my meals. I have a lot of experience with cooking, shopping etc healthy. I lost 60 pounds 10 years ago (250 -> 190) and unfortunately have gained all that back and 30 more pounds.
Any words or hope, or wisdom, as I start my journey tomorrow? I'm not going to share a picture for privacy reasons, but I do plan to do a monthly update in this thread each month if you'd like to follow along with my progress!
