[quote=Anonymous]My name is Isabel. I am 5'0' and 143 pounds. I'd like to get to 120 or possibly 115 (I am curvy and that seems to be the weight where I look best). I've been telling myself for a few years that I'll lose the weight, but I haven't really tried that hard. I have an event next November that is motivating me and I really want to get it done this time.

I have some autoimmune issues and I've been to a nutritionist who emphasizes getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs as opposed to focusing solely on calories.  I have felt a lot better following that protocol but I haven't lost any weight. I just joined Weight Watchers but I see that the foods my nutritionist likes for me to eat will take me over my 23 points per day. I also have been logging my food into Cronometer to check my macros. I'm not eating that many calories (around 1200-1300) but it's too many carbs and not enough protein. I'm pescatarian (but prefer to eat mostly vegetarian) and I struggle with getting enough protein while not overdoing it on the fat.  I've also found myself snacking on things like popcorn or Pirates Booty almost every night and need to cut that habit out.

I haven't been great on the exercise front but I'm making myself get up tomorrow morning to do some weights. I hope to do that 3-4 days a week to start and then add in some cardio. I like to walk outside but it's been way too cold for that lately.

I'm also cutting out alcohol for the month of January because I have been consuming too many alcohol calories lately. [/quote]
