Off to a Questionable Start!

Well, today was meant to be day one of this latest weight-loss attempt. Judging by my food log - I'm off to a less than stellar start! But it's OK, all is not lost, a reasonable dinner is the only thing between me and a salvaged day. Perhaps a walk on the treadmill is in order?

Here's the thing - I'm 6' tall and 190 pounds. I'm tall enough to carry off the whole "almost 200 pounds" thing but I feel terrible. I haven't been this heavy since after baby number three was born. And as I get closer to the ripe old age of 40, I feel the need to resolve my weight issues.

At 6' and 190, I'm in a size 14. Some of my 14's are tight, others are just right. Of course, like many other folks, my wardrobe consists of clothes from 10 to 16. At 165 (yep, been there, too!) a size 10 is comfortable. I wonder what I'll be at 150?

Because yes, 150 is my dream goal weight. Haven't seen that number since high school but I think it's doable. At 165 I plan on reassessing. I'll see how long it takes, how I feel, if I can still enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, etc.

I suppose that's all for today. I hope that this blog helps provide the inspiration I need to stay accountable.

Oh you will!

LOL you will get tons of support and motivation.  Good luck on your journey!

Welcome

Welcome tallgirl (my neice is 6'3" and my grandma was 6', wish I had a few inches of that!) Good to have you here. I think this is a great community - and you can defintely do 40#. I have a friend doing the Sonoma diet and she gets to have a glass of wine with dinner every night! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Hi!!

I'm pretty new myself but so far just reading all the other stories here is a great way to get motivated, that combined with everyone's wonderfully encouraging words, I don't see failure as an option.   Good luck!!
