Pursuing a healthier lifestyle

Hey! I'm LJ from the south central states, and I'm just trying to eat better and move more!

This last year I was in a slump where I kept complaining about my weight/laziness but never doing anything, so my weight/health got worse and the circle of complaining continued. Finally somebody, fed up with my whining said "if you're not happy then do something about it!"

So here I am, about a month into really committing to eating less and moving more. I don't really have any goals to meet, I just want to see what I can achieve as the months go by, and as I build strength and stamina, who knows, maybe I'll run some marathon event or do one of those 5k challenge courses (but right now that just seems silly)

    Me too girl, me too! So far so good. I've started trying to eat healthier, weigh my foods appropriately, cut back on the eating out and just moving more in general. That stupid "park further away" and little tips like that, I'm implementing them into my life to make this a whole, total lifestyle change. I DO have goals though, but no certain amount of time to reach them. I'd just like to lose about 100 lbs (85 to go!), but am in no rush to do it.

    My next goal that I hope to start working on in march or april (by then I should be ace with this food stuff and the minor changes), is to get a full work out routine going and build muscle, and gain more strength and stamina. I'm so weak its not even funny.
