in Introduce Yourself
I'm a Mom of a 12 and 6 yr old, work from home and have a great husband who is also on this journey. I need to lose at least a hundred pounds - but about 115 would be optimal. I'm spontaneous, undisciplined and really dislike the word schedules. I know I'm undisciplined...and doing it "my way" has gotten me where I am today. I honestly have more nutritional education than most people...and know what works for me... So - it's going to be "doing it" that is important.

My commitment is that for the next 7 days...I'm sticking to my calorie intake being slightly under my allowed, drinking at least 10 glasses of water, and not eating after 7 pm...unless I've been to an evening class...and then - I'll allow myself a small snack...green and with small amount of protein.

I am done with this weight. It has to go.

Here's to your success - and mine. Let's lose weight...and never find it again. :happy:

    I think setting small goals is the way to go. I have a long history of setting up huge goals only to get sidetracked after a couple of weeks. One foot in front of the other right?

    I agree...small pieces of the big goal are much easier for me to "grasp". I have also done the big goal thing...and it didn't work for me either. Working with a nutritionist who encouraged me to not only measure with the scale...but by looking at inches really helps me too. Have a good evening...let's stick to our nutrition plan.

    My plan of attack that Ive been following since Jan 1:

    1. track ALL of my food here on mfp
    2. Get to the gym Monday thru Friday (weights mwf, cardio tu, th)
    3. Get good sleep (Im a night owl and will stay up til 1 am if I let myself)

    To add:

    4. Drink more water (Im BAD at this, harder than exercise and tracking for me)
    5. Take daily vitamins
    6. Make sure my diet is more balance with veggies and fruit and curb some of the carby snacks
