[quote=Anonymous]I have an event in exactly one year from now where I want to look much better than I do now. I'm 5'1'' and I need to lose about 20 pounds (more would be great but I'm fine with 20). I've had health issues in the past year (Hashimoto's & IBD) and they seem to be better controlled now so I'm in a better place to start taking steps to lose the weight and become healthier.

Right now I walk 2x/week for exercise and my diet is OK but probably could be better. I'm a pescatarian, gluten free (for autoimmune/inflammation reasons) and my downfall seems to come at night after dinner and before bed when I tend to snack on things like popcorn. Since I have a year, I'd rather take gradual steps where I don't feel like I'm drastically changing my diet or exercise routine. I'd rather add things in and see how they go.

I feel like even if I could add in some weights 2-3x/week it would make a difference in my body composition. I've done OrangeTheory and I didn't lose any weight but it was hard on my body especially when I was trying to get my health under control. I do better with gentler exercise. I want to take the month of December to get a plan in place and then start it in January.

Where do I start and how should I go about this?[/quote]
