Mission to Reach 145 lbs

I think I want to try metformin again. I usually don’t have any bad side effects ,but goodness :/ that last time was pure hell…. but it’ll help with weight-loss and my pcos. *sigh*… Time to call the doctor. 

I think I am going to do keto. All I have heard from other PCOS ladies are good things. It would make sense because you are reducing your carbs and PCOS/ insulin resistant diseases have a hard time with those. I am still doing research on how to proceed, so I do not hurt myself in the process. 

I need to make sure I am doing this right. Although, I am going to go grocery shopping…. I have been out of meat for a while :/. I also want some more sausage. So, chicken and sausage are today’s targets. I already have all my veggies :D, but I ran out of fruit. I don’t eat fruit on ket though? I also, don’t like eggs….. Does that matter? I don’t think it does ,but it might…. Anywho, yeah. 

So far, what I have learned about keto is that you keep your carbs between 20g-50g. You don’t eliminate carbs, you just reduce them. Also, You have your percents set to 5% carbs, 65% fats, 30% protein….. 

As for the exercise that accompanies this…. I think I might have to suck up my anxiety, go to a weight room, and ask for help. I want to get the most out of this and if that means weight-lifting, so be it. Who knows? Maybe I’ll enjoy it this time. 

Dang…. this was a long ass post :/. My bad….

tl:dr I am going to do keto and try to pick up weight-lifting. Reasons are in the paragraphs. 

EDIT: Going to be counting calories, also! I am thinking 1550 or maybe 1600 to start. Help? Also, if anyone can recommend some women who do keto? 

Heard both of those were like god-sent for women with PCOS? Have anyone with pcos tried either of these? 

P.S. Sorry for the question spam. I am also doing my own research…. I just like different opinions . 

I know weight-loss isn’t a race and it’s suppose to be at your own pace…. but I want to go faster. I really want to meet my goal of under 200 lbs by September. I am no longer participating in No Weigh May, so I weighed myself today to see where I am at and I am 245 lbs. I do the 30 day shred 5X a week and I don’t count calories. I plan on starting to count calories and upping my exercise. I just have no idea to what. Any suggestions? On diet and exercise? If so, answer this post or message me. Have a nice day. 

crying because I want a butt ,but I don’t wanna lift weights… Is there a way to get abs and a butt without lifting heavy at the gym? Like…. can I just do yoga. Any suggestions?

Sorry, not actually sorry. I like to see my progress and I just don’t see it in the mirror or in side by side pics. I am still 249 lbs thank goodness. I have been eating awful. I need to get that under control stat! 

I’ve been wanting to get into weight -lifting :D…. but I always feel intimated at my gym… I also kind of don’t have a partner. Does anyone know of any gyms in the Austin/San Antonio area that cater to weight-lifters? Or maybe more specifically female weight-lifters?

Also, can anyone direct me to some female weight-lifters on tumblr? I already know of fitcriss and sameatschildren. Another thing is it would be really helpful if they only post weight lose/weight-lifting things. 

I realize now unless you want… ( TMI: More under the cut)

… why is it when I have seen someone lose a bunch of weight, they look older? Like their face somehow just got a bunch of wrinkles. :/ I don’t want that to happen to me…I’m only gonna be 20 soon. 

1. My sister who has known of my efforts to lose weight said “Your waist is looking smaller.” I asked her if she as just being nice,but she was like ” I don’t tell people compliments if it isn’t true -_-.” :D

2. My mom’s friend who DOESN’T KNOW about my efforts to lose weight said ” : O, looks like you lost some weight?” :D :D :D :D :D :D I asked her how she could tell I lost weight. She said I just looked smaller ,then she asked me what I had been eating :D. 

I really couldn’t see a difference because the scale hasn’t been moving past 249lbs :/. I need to incorporate some running in. So, far I have been doing the 30 day shred and squats ( these I have been slacking on too).  I want to do lifting too,but I get anxious… People stare and I don’t know who to bring with me to spot me and I don’t know how the machines work O.o. 

Honestly, I do not think much of a difference has occurred… but it was enough for someone to notice, so happy dance :). 

My Goal List :). I am a little lost as to what to put down. I mean I don’t really mind it because losing weight period is a goal in it’s self :). 

Goal 1(230lbs): ?

Goal 2(215lbs): ?

Goal 3(190lbs): Get hair straightened and dyed or Set up a Gofund me account. 

Goal 4(170lbs): Go to the doctor to get everything checked out/surgeries. 

Goal 5(160lbs): New clothes???

Recently, I have been thinking about the physical aspect of weight loss, loose skin, deflated boobs, etc. Sometimes, people ask me what I am going to do and I tell them…. I am going to get plastic surgery. My stomach, thighs, breast, etc.

… The look on their face when I say that: 

I am going to start doing research about the whole sha-bang :). Super exciting and it keeps me motivated to know that after I lose all this weight, I can go under the knife to get rid of extra skin ( and boobz. ) 

I might start a new page on my tumblr about the research I do…. and maybe set up a donation box because I am poor…… 

Disclaimer: … I sound super vain… I’m not even mad right now. I want to be able to show off my hard-work. ( not that others who opt out of plastic surgery don’t either :)) I admire all paths of beauty. 

P.S. If I do set up a donation box…. Should it be on a pound basis? A weight loss goal basis? Would you guys donate at all lol?

Just walked my dog and now I am going to go buy some weights :O. Coming back to eat breakfast with a beautiful glass of chilled water then to  KICK SOME ASS doing day 4 of 30DS. Wish me luck. 

P.S. Hope you guys kick ass in your workout ,also. HAVE ( not try ) an awesome day. :) You’ll do great. 

I have been thinking about what weight I want to be when I hit my B-day. I know my ultimate goal is health ,but it is nice to be a little vain also :). I want to be close to 200 lbs when Sept. gets here. Sept is about 5-ish months away. Seeing as I am 249lbs now, that would be about 10 lbs a month. O.o, I want to try it ,but I do not want to overwhelm myself.
