I'm going to get healthier

hooligans4 · January 2014

So I'm actually getting discusted with the way I look so I'm going to change. I start TODAY, no more excuses.
I have asked my husband to help motivate me to go downstairs and use the elliptical for 20 min a day. That's what I'm going to start with.
I'm lazy and by the end of the day I want to sit on her couch and do nothing but I'm going to change that.
I weigh almost 200 pounds so I think I will be happy if I can loose 1 to 2 pounds a week. I really want to get back down to 165.
Please wish me luck and if anyone else wants to join me maybe we can do a weekly checkin or something.

Good for you on getting healthier--and good luck! I spent all last week trying to get motivated to lose weight and get healthier. I also spent a majority of the week convincing myself I was pregnant (but I'm not), so now is a great time to start.

You go girl!! I'm disgusted too. I JUST said to MH that summer is around the corner and we need to do something...as he munches on chips and me a pop tart.

He bought an elpitical last year and I have been on it 0 times

He is no better. I think the first few days are hard but once you get in a routine it should be better!!

Good luck!!

Awesome. I'll join you. I've spent the summer lounging around (as much as two small children allow you to lounge) and eating chocolate and drinking wine.

I feel awful and my pants are all too tight

My first step is to sort out the alcohol consumption and eating packets of biscuits and chocolates.

I start back at work next week which will naturally make me more active.

You can do it! I had a baby in June and have lost almost 70 lb since and weigh 17 lbs less than pre-preg weight. I have 10 more lb to go. One day at a time, drink your water, 20 min of exercise a day is a great goal, and be nice to yourself if you have a "bad" day!

I'm in! DD is 7 months old, and I'm still in maternity clothes. And they're TIGHT!

Get it girl!!!! I just started too….Im having a hard time though. Diet is SOOOO hard for me. I have decided to start with that though and add exercise in a few weeks…..its always easier to move my bod when there is less of it to move!

I'm right there with you! I'm making small changes, salad for dinner instead of a full of carbs. Smaller portions. Telling myself "no more laziness!" It's hard but we can do it!
