Us gals over at the Guild are going to be sharing a journey with each other, a weight loss journey. Some have already been on this journey alone, some are new and some have struggled for years. The key to weight loss success is to find out what works for You! Before starting any weight loss plan you should ALWAYS talk to your doctor before hand to make that it is what your body needs. After talking with my doctor this week, I am ready to go. Are you? Please join us here for regular posts on nutrition, exercise, fit websites to visit, recipes and our progress. If you would like to join us, please post and let us know. We are happy to have you with us. Even if you are a silent participant, thanks for joining us.
Weight loss basically comes down to calories in, calories out. If you eat less then you are taking in, you lose. Pretty simple right? Every person has a different body type, weight, height, etc.. Please find out what your caloric intake should be to lose weight at a healthy rate. Keep in mind that if you do not eat enough, your body will go into Starvation Mode and you will not lose weight. Keep it healthy, its what it is all about. Take a before picture to match up with your after photo! ;) The follow sites will really help you out. They all have food calculators, diaries, blogs, fitness trackers, etc., that you can use to keep track of your goals and achievements for FREE. There are many more and some are paying, choose what feels right for you. I highly recommend you track what you are eating, when you are eating and WHY you are eating. It will help you discover where you need the most help. So take a gander and see what is right for you.
We are going to be doing our weigh-ins on Mondays. You do not need to post your weight but if you would like to share with us, please post pounds lost and we will add you to the list. :) Good luck! We also welcome any tips you might have to share! I also made up a blinkie if you are interested. Ok, it doesnt really blink but you get me. lol
