Okay I'm new here, just joined today but I really want to loose weight so I may as well jump in all the way.

I'm 22, my name is Annie. I weighed 222 lbs about a two years ago and I started working at Wal Mart and buffing every inch of their tiles so my weight went down to 155. Then I switched jobs and put on about 20 lbs. I was willing to deal with that but then...I got pregnant. My son is two and a half months old and I'm back up to 216. My self esteem is spiraling downward again like it was when I weighed 222. For me, it's time to take some action.

So I'm going to start by answering those newbie questions.

-- How much weight do you want to lose?

Enough to get me back down to 155-165

-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?

Probably about a year. That's how long it took me to loose it the first time.

-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?

I'm giving up all my sodas and junk food, like McDonalds and Taco Bell and those little debbie cakes. Trying to eat more natural foods and less processed foods. I'm drinking nothing but water and a little bit of green tea. I'm walking at least a mile a day to start with and then I'll increase it after a mile becomes easy. I'm also doing some indoor excersising.

-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?

Hopefully this community and of course my very supportive boyfriend.

-- How realistic is your goal?

I think it's very realistice. I've done it before, so why can't I do it again?

-- When will you start?

Today.
 
hey! thats awesome that you've decided to take on a healthier lifestyle. Cutting out the mcdonalds and soda will definetly help! =) I think your goal is very realisitc too, a year is a good time line. just make sure your healthy..thats the most important thing! You'll get lots of support here, the people are great! good luck with your first day
 
Well, overall I think I'm doing pretty good so far. I've drank nothing but water and lots of it for the past two days, I resisted the cookies Sue made,ate nothing that was processed, and I've tried to be very physical.

Walking a mile seems to wind me for now. It's hard to believe I used to walk 10 miles a night. I miss that though. For me it's hard to get back in the habit but once I do I feel like a different person.

On the days I don't work, because I only work part time right now, I'd love to put Aiden in the stroller and take him for a long walk with me. But it's so hot right now that I have to wait until the evenings and by then he feels fussy so I go by myself.

In other news...the girl who co-owns the petshop next to where I work started going to the gym and she looks really good now. So two girls I work with started doing it too and one of them has already lost some weight. In a way this iritates me b/c I'm still stuck but in another way it makes me want to work harder so I can look good too. It depends on the mood I'm in...

Anyway...it's 9:27 am, I have a fresh day to tackle.
 
Yesterday went well. I drank water all day but I also worked really hard so I skipped why walk in the evening.

Today is going better. I walked a mile and a half this morning and I had a small bowl of special K with low fat milk for breakfast.


Whoa!!! i must go...my kid is cryin'
 
Sounds like you're off to a great start, just remember that it takes time and don't get discouraged.
 
Keep up the good work! :)
