Ready to make a change!

Hey guys! I am 24 years old and really working harder to better myself. I've always struggled with my weight especially after I got out of high school and into my serious relationship. The thought of eating healthy was honestly mentally challenging to me. Only because I've always sucked at it... I struggle with what meals to make involving anything healthy. I will say for the past 3 days I have starting making healthy smoothies that I will drink once a day sometimes 2 times a day. If anyone has any healthy ones for weight loss that they could recommend to me that would be great! So far I've been using a handful of spinach, mixed berries, half a banana, and for the liquid unsweetened almond milk and also throwing some chia seeds in there as well. But I am still feeling hungry I know it's going to take some time for me to adjust considering how unhealthy I'd eat before but I am trying to stay determined that I can do it this time. I'd love to make friends on here who are on the same journey as me!

Hey Jordyn, best of luck! Hang in there, the healthy eating gets easier after about a week or 2. Feel free to add me if you would like an accountability buddy!

I'm on a journey, I am going to lose another 100 lbs this year, already lost 24lbs since I started with a PT in mid November.

If I can share what I've found, denying yourself food or foods doesn't work - eat clean, unprocessed food for your main diet & moderation on the rest - stay in your MFP target & log everything - even if it puts you over!

Exercise is everything & don't shy from the weights as well as cardio - it accelerates your base metabolism rate & really helps.

Try not to "lose 100 lbs ... rather, lose 1lb but 100 times" ... don't know why but that makes me feel better

Add if you wish... I don't ramble on quite as much but do log every day!
