Hi everyone!
I am new here. I know everyone is on their own journeys.
I am not overweight, but I still would like to get to my ideal weight. I feel like I've been wanting to get to this weight for awhile now, but I have not full heatedly gone about this goal. I was this weight about two years ago, and I will be honest-- I want to be back to this weight because I liked how I looked best at this weight. I also do generally want to get leaner, more toned, and get into better shape. I am currently 122lbs, 5'0 and would like to get to 110 lbs. I would love to reach this goal by around Memorial Day (just the time of year I visualized in my mind). That would give me a little more than 2 months to lose about 12 pounds. I have a gym membership and I go weekly (usually 3-4x a week), and do lifting and a little cardio (usually in the form of HIIT classes, swimming, and something a 1-2 mile run). I am getting in shape... and I exercise frequently, however my biggest obstacle with my attempts to lose weight is overeating. I tend to eat a lot whenever I'm home out of boredom... I also notice I like eating a lot more at dinner. Usually I have portion control breakfast and lunch.. but once dinner comes, I eat a lot. My work is also a bit stressful at times, and I notice myself eating a lot out of stress. I generally eat pretty clean for the most part (I don't drink soda, don't eat a whole lot of processed foods), but when I get in that stress mode.. I'll eat anything like cereal, crackers... I am vegan, so that has helped with eating cleaner, but I still struggle a bit with overeating even so.
Anyways, I am tired of this helpless feeling. I just want to lose 12 lbs. I know it is very doable. So thus, I created this thread! I hope to write out my experiences and journey along the way.
I need to stay motivated, so please.. if anyone has advice, or wants to share about their own journies, please do!
I'm curious if there is any other petite girls out there looking to lose weight, or have lost weight successfully.. if you had any tips!
