Hi,
I am new to this forum. I need to keep myself accountable to finally reach my goals. I hope to give and receive support here.
I will start with answering some of the suggested questions and try to update my diary daily.
Starting Weight: 132 lbs
-- How much weight do you want to lose?
10 lbs (122lbs)
-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
10 weeks (2/4/2019)
-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
exercise and clean diet (daily calorie reduction of 500kcal)
maybe water fasting at some point for 1-3 days if I plateau
-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
having this support group to discuss any problems and lack of motivation/frustration
-- How realistic is your goal?
it will be very hard but it is doable
-- When will you start?
