I'm 25 female, 173 cm (5ft 8) and weigh 68 kg (150 lbs). My target weight will be 58 kg (127,6 lbs).
It's been years since I was in high school and had this weight. I've tried reaching my goal numerous times with diet alone but I always got it back. Last winter I was amazed that I had reached the highest weight I've ever had 73 kg (160,6 lb) so I tried a long diet that lead me to go down to 63,5 kg. Unfortunately I gradually got it back but I managed to stabilize at 68 kg.
This time I really intend to change how my body looks and not just loose the pounds. I've not been doing any exercise for many years and this is what has made me gain the pounds and not just the eating since I don't eat that much anyway. It's true that I sometimes make bad choices and tend to like the fatty foods more but I've learned a lot about Nutrition from my previous diet so to understand that what I'm doing wrong with my everyday eating habits is not even consuming close to enough nutrients and in combination to getting extra fat and not any activity plus not drinking enough water is what kills me.
I hadn't realized that an offer from a discount store for an Elliptical Trainer would get me that motivated. The offer was for Monday and since I got it I realized that this type of exercise I can motivate myself to do every day. It's quiet, has numerous customization options and above all: quiet. (I used to have an extremely uncomfortable and noisy stationary bike which I never used because of that)
I intend to go slow, focus more on the workouts so I build my stamina and just eat moderately and healthy. Later I may focus on limiting my calories more. Since my fitness level is really low I'm not counting the first week
Since I'm not doing a particular diet I will only be adding with a + the beneficiary foods I ate and with a - the bad.
So I've started since Monday and today is the 3rd day.

I'm not really dieting yet but perhaps I should start soon.
