I’m 23F, 5’6”, and for many years I’ve been between 145 and 150 pounds. Doctors have always told me that I’m healthy (no high blood pressure or anything), although my weight is more on the upper end of the healthy range.
A little less than 2 months ago I was up to 149 and I just decided that by the end of this summer I would try to lose 10 pounds to get closer to my ideal weight. I wanted to start slow by cutting out snacks completely, reducing my portion sizes a bit, and making some common sense changes to my diet here or there (like deciding to eat a banana for breakfast instead of a bowl of sugary cereal). I hadn’t started a new workout routine or anything, I’d just been going to the gym maybe twice a week and I had a job that involves a lot of walking. The idea was to get the hang of eating a little better before I started some sort of more aggressive diet/exercise plan.
But to my amazement as soon as I changed my eating habits a bit I started steadily losing weight. I’ve made it down to 138 already. I don’t know I guess I’ve just heard too much about fancy diets and people struggling to expect to be so successful without making dramatic changes to my lifestyle. So here’s a little encouragement for those of you who just need to lose a little weight and are nervous to get started. I wish I had given it a try sooner!
