I'm 5'9", 198 lbsas of my last weigh-in 3 weeks ago. I have yet to weigh myself again because I am dreading the scale, but I've been on my mission for the last 10 days, which has been my longest attempt up until now. I am planning to lose 55 pounds by the end of April 2018. But if I don't, I'll just keep on going.

I am sticking to 1250 calories a day, as I am very sedentary. But my goal - beyond losing weight and keeping it off - is to lead a more active life. I've set up small rewards for myself as part of my weightloss journey. My first one being new workout gear and a fitbit, when I reach the 2 week mark. In November, my next reward is a gym membership. I was dreading going to the gym 10days ago, now I'm clkser to actually wanting to go. I got my mind there which is 50% of the journey I guess, and my body will follow.

Until then, I try to incorporate light exercise such as 30minute uphill walks each day, or yoga for weightloss. I don't obsess about the scale too much. Taking it ine day at a time.

I mostly eat salads with beans, lentils, chickpeas or tofu for protein. Trying to stay away from carbs but without obsessing, as long as I don't go over my 1250 cals I'm happy. Also olive or coconut oil, peanut butter for fat or cheese. Fruit for snacks. Yes I'm vegetarian.
