Attempt #394859381 to start my new lifestyle

nooduitgang

Hello Everyone,

I probably have a a very typical story in relation to my weight loss. I start, I stop, I start, I stop, I drop 20 lbs, I gain 25, I drop 30, I gain 15, yo-yo, yo-yo. My biggest flaw with weight loss is my amazing ability to talk myself out of anything. I'm great at starting a new routine and when I slip up saying to myself "oh well I'm so close to the beginning I'm going to have to "start again" so I might as well eat whatever I want and tomorrow I'll "really start"" HUGE crock of **** and I know it but somehow I manage to talk myself into it every single time.

This time I'm not going to let that happen. I want to start a new healthy lifestyle. I want to feel better in my clothes and have more energy. I want to be OK with pictures taken of me being posted on the internet (my gf HATES how I never want to take pictures). Also, speaking of my gf, I want to ask her to marry me but I don't really want to start the next "stage" of my life as I am now.

Here's the plan:
I sit at my desk all day. So I'd technically fall under "sedentary" BUT calculating net calories is a pain in the *kitten* and the more effort this is the more likely I will be to give up.

So I decided to put myself into the mfp system as lightly active and simply not calculate my net calories.

I will be going to spinn class 2x per week, working with a trainer 1x per week, and doing some other class at the gym (maybe yoga? Maybe some scary class called metcon3)

I will greatly appreciate any support you can offer and absolutely am willing to help encourage others. I think being part of a community would help.

Best,

Mr. N
