I am into my diet a couple of days and have lost 1.5 pounds.
I have decided against following any particular name brand diet, and have decided to go my own way and figure out a way of eating that I can follow happily. In the past I have been very successful the first 2 - 3 weeks of following a name brand diet, but then find it too difficult to work into my real every day life. So I am trying to get real about what works and doesnt for me. The first big step is to cut out pop, in particular coke, I LOVE IT, but it doesnt love me, In fact I can easily drink 2 - 3 cans a day, as it gives me the energy push that I need to keep going. I know carry rice cakes with me and a bottle of water, and while not as satisfying as a can of coke and a chocolate bar, they do do the trick when I am hungry and need a quick fix without haveing the time to stop and make a proper meal.
The second thing I have done is started following a couch to 5k running plan. If followed I should be able to run 5k in 2 months, realistically i think 4 months will be more reasonable for me, considering my current weight. My current size is and 18 - 20. I have a summer dress hanging in my closet that I bought 2 years ago one size to small, and this is my goal dress for the end of the summer. It is a size regular 15, not a plus 15. This to me is an important distinction, as I have made it to a 16 before, but always in the plus section not regular section. So for the end of the summer that is my goal to make it to a regular size 16.
