Weight Loss This Year

[Guest Maria (Hilda)]

At the start of this year I weighed in at 141kg. (310 lb)

My goal weight was 115kg by the end of the year (253 lb)

Earlier today I weighed in at.....

117kg. (258 lb)

Though slightly off my goal weight, I'm very happy with my progress this year, a solid 24kg gone. Though I could have lost a lot more (Being an 180 lb woman would lose 30lb to 3-4months with a simple, loose diet and little exercise, according to my Nutritionist) I'll take what I can get.

In past, exercise would put me off and being at the gym with people staring and glaring would make me go home and eat anyway, but this year I found a solution - Exercise that I could really get into. Dance! But the point of what I'm saying is, I guess this year I've learnt that exercise needs to be something you enjoy, and that alone will increase how much you exercise. Now That I enjoy what I do I'm much more physically active, and being more physically active has made... being active, Easier.

A year ahead of me waits, and next year, my Goal is 105kg by December 30th. It won't be easy, but with what I've learnt this year I hope I can make it enjoyable.

Love, Cuddles, and Oatmeal cookies!

Fantastic Maria !

Wishing you the best on your weight loss goals.

Dance, boogie, shuffle, slide, hop, skip, saunter away ! I dig it, as I make love to my bass guitar (boogie) during each set for gigs and practice. Sweat = Boogie !

Music is the ultimate motivator !

I am also into walking (5 miles per day), it works for me.

Hugs

Fantastic! You are doing great so far Maria.

I looks like you have the right attitude too. Keeping healthy is a lifelong marathon and not a sprint.

I am so happy for you Maria. You have done a wonderful job already in the weight you lost. I am glad you found something that you like to exercise to.

Good Luck in meeting your goal this year. I know you can do it.
