Dietitian/ Fitness Trainer-Yes I need to lose weight

1mountainmama

I am at the upper end of my "healthy BMI", but I feel like crap. And my blood pressure is actually pre-hypertension! Not only that, but as a "Healthy Lifestyle Coach" for a living (yes I am a Certified Personal Trainer, and Registered Dietitian), it is important for me to be a role model. But I am HUMAN, Damnit! I like food and wine and beer! I like making cookies with the kids, and eating them. I like dates with the hubby and drinking a little too much and then having dessert!
SOOOO trying to reign it in enough to lose about 12 pounds, while still enjoying life. Can anyone relate to anything I am saying?!! GAH!!!!!!!

OH gosh it is so nice to see all the responses. I have been logging on MFP on and off for a year, but put on weight since starting work full time 6 months ago. 12 pounds may not seem like much to lose, but it feels daunting.

I have been too embarrassed to put anything on here, because "I should know what to do," but the fact is, I need some motivation and some accountability. So, if you want to help motivate the trainer/ dietitian, PLEASE FRIEND ME!! If you provide me motivation and accountability, I would be happy to answer any factual info on nutrition and exercise :bigsmile: LOL... I have been doing this for 10+ years!

So I am 5'6 and 141 lbs. I want to be 128 lbs. So I guess that's 13lbs if you ask me today I am also a 37 year old mother of 2 who wants to look good in a bikini well in to my 50's. But mostly, I want to have lots of energy to play with my kids when I get home from work!
