hi y'all,
I am the heaviest I have been in a long time, I weighed myself this morning and I am not a happy girl. I lost about 50 pounds a few years ago
then broke my arm and now I have gained all but 9 pounds back! The good news is, I joined a gym (actually my local YMCA which is nicer than any gym I have belonged to before) and had been going but only sporadically. I am committing to going at least 5 days a week and I also keeping track of my food. I found a great tool for my iPhone called "Lose it" you just put in your weight, goal, age and then log in your food and exercise and it calculates it. It is also free!
You can also do that at some sites, I have tried myfooddiary.com, which is the exact same thing, except it cost money, I think 9.99 a month. I do think there are some free ones out there...
I thought there might be some others who would like to make this winter a time to get into shape, rather than an excuse to eat and hibernate (which I could easily do) and having others support is always helpful. We can also share tips, kindle diet or exercise books and even recipes.
I also find the show the Biggest Loser (which is on tonight) can be motivating.
My goal is to lose 40 pounds and then another 25! I am trying to cut out refined sugar and white flour as much as possible and fried food.
I just really want to get fit and have more stamina. I play pool competively and have a big tournament in May in Vegas. I know I play better when I am thinner and exercising regularly, so by May I would like to reach my first goal, or close too it.
All right, who's with me?
