Day1

Faithful001

Hello all! Well, here goes....Day 1 of my life style change....again. I have tried this numerous times. Hoping this will be the time it works for me! Need all the help I can get. My biggest problem is that I love food and I don't have to be hugry to eat. If it sounds good and is in front of me, I will eat it. Getting ready to turn 46, want my life to change before I turn the big 50! Wish me luck!

I remember day 1. I didnt even really want to start. I started losing weight because I knew I had - had done it before and just 'wasnt in to it' when I started day 1.
Hard to say how in the world I started with such a poor attitude. But I started writing down my foods- diaries I believe are a HUGE help- so I was writing. Then a friend told me about this site- and I am HOOKED on losing the rest. I cant NOT exercise since it 'buys' extra caloires. However - after becoming near obsessed with trying new and healthy foods- I almost cant eat all the exercise calories back since these kinds of food are so filling.

So I did it- THE life style change. My house is filled with the food I started this with- Quinoa, fruits, veg, grilled chicken, whole grain breads and cereal etc etc (a lot of this was normal food before- but Ive added a lot and am sticking with only the best)

Im around day 45 or 55 or so (almost the 2 month mark) and Ive lost 10 lbs and have become addicted to exercise again. (was - but lost it- will NEVER lose it again!!)

Im not sure I can log forever- or even want to- but I will until eating the proper amt is EASY for me and not to be thought about. I will lot until I can control myself in all aspects of my life so that I never gain it back. I will come back and tweak my progress if it starts to slip (once im at goal).

This site CAN make a difference. Use it- learn stuff - ask questions- and then search the web for recipes (or here too!) But do SOMEthing- anything - to get started - and enjoy the feeling of success!
Good luck!

Day 1 for me here too. I'm 38 and 246.4 pounds. That is actually a loss for me. I had bariatric surgery in March of this year and am down 61 pounds. I have already plateaued mostly due to poor choices and no exercise and am looking to jump start the weight loss again. I have to focus on my protein intake as I have a deficiency right now and on adding exercise. I am also starting back to college full time in a week so I have some big changes going on right now. I too love food and have to force myself not to eat just because it sounds good. And I hate exercise but plan to do it 5 days a week.

I just turned 50, and had so wanted to have this weight gone by now. However, I hope to be a whole lot healthier this year! Wish you the best in making it happen before 47!

I'm the same. I can eat, eat and without being hungry and it angers me that I do that.

Welcome!
My advice, find stuff you love to eat that isn't going to hurt your health. Then you won't feel deprived, OR guilty.
