Hey everybody. I'm new here and on a serious quest for a lifestyle change.
I'm 29 years old, married and living a pretty nomadic life due to the nature of my husbands job (military).
Over the past year and a half due to the stresses of life, moving and a general change in activity and diet I've gained about 50 pound which is absolutely ridiculous.
I got on the scale today and it registered at 227 pounds. I'm only 5'7". I get winded now doing regular things like chores around the house or going to check the mail. None of my clothes fit anymore and I just generally feel unattractive.
I realized a long time ago that I'm a total carb addict and have always been. The only difference now is that I'm a lot more sedentary than I ever was because of my job (writer) that requires me to sit at a desk for 10 hours a day. I've tried low carb before and it worked really well for me but you know how it is, eat one carb and it turns into 10 and before you know it you're addicted again.
I'm ready to put the past in the past, get this weight off of me once and for all and have set an initial goal of 175lbs which will put me back around where I was before I started piling it on. After that I will take my time and work down to where I want to settle in terms of a final weight (150lbs) and in terms of eating habits.
I'm ready to do this and I need all the support I can get. I will not turn 30 looking and feeling like a (very large) shadow of my former self.
Thanks for listening.
