in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone,

My name is Renee. I have been on MFP for about a month but I havent been logging in regularly or updating.

So....Here goes nothing...again. I am GOING to stick to it this time. I am pretty good about exercising and eating healthy. My biggest problem has got to be portion control. I am at my heaviest weight of 183. My goal is to get back down to 140 for my wedding in in October and there is no better time than the present.

Any support or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Renee

    Today is my first day joining and my first day of the workout and diet routine. I was married just under 2 months ago and when I looked at a picture I discovered that I looked 8 months pregnant! I nearly died. So, I feel your pain. Good luck with your weightloss, and even more so with the wedding!

    I am trying to standardise my meals, saves thought, So if you eat certain things regularly, work out a standard portion and stick to it. To keep a balanced diet, I only allow myself 1 portion of each food each day, If hungry, find something else. The 2 exceptions to this rule are Vegetables and Salad.

    I have set my target at approx 400 cal per meal.

    My mental plan for every plate is 1/4 Protein, 1/4 dense carbs, 1/2 fruit or veg.

    I hope this helps :smile:

    My issues seem pretty similar to yours. I've always eaten fairly healthy, but have no restraint for portion sizes. I've been on this site for a long time, but have been really inconsistent with my food journal. I just had a blast of motivation about a week ago, and am hoping to make it stick this time.

    My main motivation lately has been realizing that I was stressing about things in my life that aren't really going to change soon, so I started focusing that energy onto myself, and on things that I knew I had the ability to change (like my weight, health, and confidence). It's always something I "wished" would change, but I'm finally trying to take control of it and see how much power I have!

    Congratulations on the weeding and Good luck with the weight loss!!
