Hello! Scared, Unsure and Confused, BUT WANT CHANGE!

[Smashleigh]

Hello Rebellion!

 

My name is Ashleigh, I am 21 years old about 220 pounds 5 Feet 9 inches and Im more then ready for a change, i have lost weight in the past, but 100\ percent of the time i have gained it all back. I have made the decision too not only lose weight, but also be healthy, i just don't know where to start, first i wanted support and i am thankful i have come across this website that seems to have real people with real stories and struggles, and seem to be a generally helpful community for someone like me too look for support and advice.

 

 

Long term goal: lose 60 pounds the healthy way, and feel healthy and better about myself.

Short term goals: Figure out how to do it!

 

So anyone,

 

Advice?

Motivating stories?

Help?

 

Thanks for reading and hope to get some responses

 

Also STRONGLY considering the Paleo diet... yes? no?

Hi Ashleigh! It's my first day too. I've read a lot of the blog posts and know it starts with baby steps. Steve has a great post about starting with one change and focus on that until it becomes a habit. Don't go big right of the bat. It doesn't work.

 

I am determined to make the paleo lifestyle work. I've been tinkering with it for a year, but never all in. I have read and seen lots of success stories and I know a lot of people here support it. Science supports it too. I like science so I'll put my faith in that.

 

Good luck to you as we begin this and now we can do it together
