Lifestyle Change – 50 Pound Goal

Written on March 9, 2009 by Jeremy

I’ve been wanting to lose weight for a while now and today is the day.  I’ve made numerous attempts at it before and failed, but this time it’s for real.  Between all the heart conditions I hear about, The Biggest Loser television show, and my dad have really been motivating me to change my lifestyle.

I plan to cut out a lot of the junk I eat, even eliminating most of the steak.  I recently bought an elliptical and will be working out on that every morning to go along with a smaller, healthier diet.  And once it warms up (if that ever happens!), I’ll get back to regular biking which is something I started last summer.

I weighed in at 200 pounds this morning and plan to reach 150 – 160, although I don’t remember what I look like at that weight.  I’m pretty sure I won’t be too thin at 150, but I’ll know once I’m a bit closer and will change my goal accordingly.

I am really determinded this time around and am ready to get the weight off once and for all.  I will be keeping a sheet to help me track my progress and how often I work out.  I’ll keep you updated on the progress a few weeks at a time.  This time around I don’t want to set a date that I plan to have the weight off simply because it hasen’t worked for me in the past.  I’d have to worry about losing weight at a certain pace, which would be VERY discouraging if I was got slightly behind schedule.  I simply plan to cut down the calories and increase my exercise, which has proven to work for me.
