OK, so I'm joining up. It's like the Army, right? Just kidding.
I'm currently just over 170 lbs (172? I don't know, haven't weighed myself in a week) and looking to get down to 135. Last year I lost 20 lbs because of health problems (went from 185 to 165 in about two months, crazy I know) and some of the weight I lost is starting to creep back on. I really don't want to start wearing size 14 jeans again, and I'd like to look good for my wedding 14 months from now.
My goals are to:
1. Integrate more regular activity into my life.
2. Log my food intake and activity daily using DietPower (my preferred logging program).
3. Stick to the low-fat diet necessary to control my health problems (acid reflux disease).
4. Use exercise to control my stress and anxiety levels instead of eating comfort foods.
5. Snack less on unhealthy foods.
6. Continue to limit myself to 12 oz. of soda daily (keeping my intake limited instead of cutting off soda completely helps me keep from binging on other sugars) and gradually switch myself to plain iced tea.
7. Eat breakfast daily.
8. Limit my sodium intake to help with my back pain.
Those are my goals. I'll weigh myself in the morning and report with a solid starting number.
