my journey to skinny

[pernicious toxic]

My name is Terra Leighann
I'm 18 years old.
I weigh 247 pounds.
I'm five foot eight.

My goal is to be 180.

I'm not sure if anyone visits these journals anymore,
but.. I guess it doesn't matter in the end.
This is for me, even if I would LOVE the
company and support in doing it.

I've lost my first 3 pounds. biggrin

today I weighed in at 245.2

Hopefully I can get out and go for a 1.5 mile walk today.


I started water aerobics yesterday and it was a lot of fun biggrin

Everyday so that at the end of the week any weight gain isn't surprise.


I've gained the 3 pounds back because I fell into old habits.
I'll lose it again though. I know i will :]



I quite like the class :]

Ooh, water aerobics sounds fun!  

[pernicious toxic]

it actually is.

 

[BitterFantasy]

keep up the good work!  

[Sunsway]

Bah, you'll lose those 3 pounds again no problem. Just gotta stay focused. Just think of how awesome it'll be when you definitely do reach 180 in just a few months. So worth it.

Its so hard though

This guild wouldn't be so lively if it wasn't. smile So, to make it a bit easier -- how about setting some weekly goals? One step a week -- non-negotiable -- that'll let you adapt and take you where you want to go.

My goal as of next week (Saturday) will be 2 bottles of water a day (1.8mL). You could do it with me! =)

EDIT: o_O I meant 3 bottles of water a day, which is 1.8 LITRES. I may have been slightly drunk when I wrote that. xd

Yes, I agree as well. Many smaller goals are easier to follow through than 1 ultimatel large goal. Your motivation will increase every time you reach a small goal which will make reaching the large goal a little easier.

I think you are doing great so far. Keep up the healthy eating and exercising and you will lose weight in no time.

Hi pernicious! I'm HZ - welcome and feel free to visit/chat anytime!
Weight loss is not only difficult, but most every weight loss success story has more than a few road bumps. The trick is to not let that stop you - we're all human, and what you do most of the time is way more important than what you do for one day.
The water aerobics, increased water intake, and frequent weigh-ins sound like good ideas. So do the small goals. What I find particularly works as a small reward - and this may be kind of silly - is to update the journal title with my total weight loss every five pounds. Something that's never too far away works well - then before you know it, the five pound increments start adding up!
