Today is my 39th Birthday. I ate whatever I pleased. I'm beginning a new plan tomorrow that I call "40 By 40". I would like to lose 40 pounds by my 40th birthday. It's ambitious for me and I don't have the greatest track record but I'm putting it out there by writing it here on your forum. This is my contract and I'm hoping that you can hold me accountable for it.
I'm 5-6, medium to large boned, and 185 lbs. 145 lbs is ideal for me. Its the weight that is still on my drivers license. At least I was honest years ago when I first got it. A couple of years ago I exercised regularly and hovered at 160 but I only have myself to blame for the added lbs. My husband could use to lose 40 as well, but he just loves gyros and late night cheese sandwiches. He may be hard to break of the habit, but he has done it before.
I'm lucky to have 2 active , healthy kids who love me at any size. I would like to be a better example to them. I don't tell them that I am fat, but I do tell them that Mama needs to be healthier and that we need to take care of ourselves. Unfortunately they have my sweet tooth and they will want to keep the ice cream in the house. And they should be able to. We all drink very little soda, so that won't be a problem.
Any advice you can give, I'm very accepting. Thanks for listening. I can do this (I really need to believe this).
Is there somewhere I need to sign up to become a WISHER?
