Weight at home 10:56 pm 230.8 pounds

I would like to lose one pound a week until I lose down to 130 pounds. Total pounds needed to lose is 100 pounds. This should reasonably take approximately 2 years. So by the end of 2023, I would like to weigh 130 pounds.

My beginning plan will be to eat 1,850 calories per day. I will use My Fitness Pal App on my phone to help me note my progress. I will journal on this website regularly. I will exercise (walk) 5 days a week building up to at least 30 minutes per day. I will record all my intake here. I am starting counseling this week.

In the end, I want to learn to eat right and healthy. I want to accomplish a lifestyle change in my relationship with food. I want to be able to keep the excess weight off if I am going to go to the trouble of losing it. Eventually, I will need to cut out excess carbs, salt, and cholesterol out of my diet as well. I want to keep a record of how each food makes me feel, how I feel after I eat it, and develop an awareness of what it is doing to my body. I want to adjust my diet as I go through these self-discoveries. I will journal any struggles, possible solutions, set-backs, and accomplishments. I will also take pictures to record my progress. I may eventually take measurements too, but I am not sure I am ready for that yet. I have been as specific as possible in setting these goals.

I would like to come up with a reward system here as well and a way to make it fun. I may add extra challenges for myself. You are welcome to make suggestions or follow along. We have to be realistic with ourselves and each and every one of us have different goals and different challenges. If I can encourage you in your challenge too, I would love to do so. Let me know what you think.
