Hello!
A few days ago, I posted a tweet asking people to send me tips on how to lose weight or send me to a site where I can try to lose weight. A couple people did which was great but will I follow them? At this time, the answer is no. Why? Cuz to me, I won't be able to accomplish what I want. I mean, yes, I know I can lose weight following those diets but will it be good in the long run? No. Why? Cuz I've already tried it and once you stop doing those diet, chances are you can gain the weight back. I want to be able to keep it off.
So I was looking around, doing my own research. I've found a couple of free training or weight loss sites that I'm gonna try and follow and see what happens. I've joined MyTrainerBob.com, freetrainers.com, fitday.com, startyourdiet.com and foh.trainingdiary.ws. I figured this way, I'll be able to choose what kind of exercise I can do and what I can eat. In the startyourdiet.com, if I follow exactly what they suggest, I could lose bout 100 by Christmas. Can I follow it? Heck yea! All I need to do is make sure I eat 1600 calories a day, drink 8 glasses of water and exercise for 45 mins a day. I can do that! Will it work for me? I don't know! All I can do is try and see what happens. *smiles*
Now all I gotta do is make a chart of what exercises on what day I wanna do as I plan to go to curves 3 times a week so that's already half hour at a time and can walk on those days for 15 mins and boom, I got my 45 mins for those days. *smiles* Also figure out what to eat and make sure I eat enough calories. So I'll be sure to be making plans for days ahead of time to be sure I am eating enough.
As for the mytrainerbob.com, Bob Harper gives out tips or challenges we can do for the day. Yesterday, his tip was to run. Well, being over 300 lbs, I can't run too good especially with my knee problem but it did say, if you can't run, jog at your own pace which is exactly what I did. I followed his tip for beginners which was to walk for 2 mins and then jog for 1 min then back to walking for 2 mins and then jog for a min. Add that up to half hour. I was so proud of myself for doing the whole half hour! Of course, I was huffy & puffy but one of these days, it won't be so bad. I'm so excited! I've even ordered Bob Harper's "Are You Ready" book. Can't wait to get that in a few days.
As for the rest of the sites, it's mainly exercises that I can do to help lose weight. I read somewhere that if I do different exercises every day and not do the same thing over and over again, there's a better chance we could lose weight a little bit faster. So we'll see if that's true. *smiles*
Why am I doing this? Cuz I've been heavy all my life. I haven't been under 300 lbs since high school. Well, actually I did make it under 300 lbs after having my son but that was cuz I had an infection after having an emergency c-section. The great thing was I was able to keep that weight off for a long time until I had to go for thyroid radiation which got me gaining 50 lbs and cuz the numbers still wasn't right, I had to go again for the thryoid radiation and ended up gaining all my weight back and then some. It's been hard losing weight since then. It's just been a yo-yo. Usually in a 20 lb range. So frustrating! This past week, I was watching videos of my son when he was smaller and I was smaller. I was watching myself and how much of a difference we look. Despite the fact that I was always sick after having my son, I was still beaming. Smiling all the time. I want to get back to that time and I know I can.
So I will be using this blog to help me with my weight loss journey. Y'all can follow me on this journey and help support me. I can use all the encouragements I can get. If you need to lose weight yourself, then join me. *smiles* Let me know what you're doing and how you're losing the weight. So come on! Let's do this! I know we can do this!
