Stats: 5’7”, 195 lbs

I was 140 when I graduated from college in 2004. Put on about three pounds every year until I had my kid in 2010. At that point I had ballooned to 183 and stayed there for about a year until I lost 25 pounds and was happy at 160ish which I stayed at until kid number two...and I soared back up to 195 which is where I’ve been for about a year now. I miss feeling attractive, having energy, enjoying shopping for clothes, not cringing when I see myself in pictures...pretty much everything that comes along with not being obese, lol.

I’m actually aiming to get back down to 140 but of course 10 pounds has to come first so I’ll happily participate!

Plan: Classes at my gym are free and there are tons to choose from (they’re either 45 minutes or an hour). I’m going to try to make it to five classes per week and do a combination of cardio ones and strength ones. I’ve found that I am not a great self motivator when it comes excercising (if it’s just me and the elliptical I have no qualms about leaving after 20 minutes but I’d feel weird leaving a class early.) so hopefully these classes kick my butt into gear. I’m an early riser and work from home and rarely need to be at my desk until 9 (bus comes for the kids at 8:15) so I’m going to do the 6:15-7ish time frame.

Food wise I’m just trying to cut out mindless snacking and eat fewer simple carbs and sugar. Focus on lean meats, fruits and vegetables and if I do that for a bit and still no results I’ll make adjustments. Calorie counting never works for me.[/quote]
