Today is my day 1 - I gave myself New Year’s Day for special dinner and alc.

I’m motivated, no off limit foods in the house. It’s going to be a long hard battle - I have 60lbs to lose, I’ve never been this overweight. I am breaking it down into mini goals.

First is to lose enough to feel comfortable in my fat jeans (right now even those are so tight I hate to get dressed or leave the house). I work from home and pretty much live in my PJs since they are the only thing I have that are comfortable.

My approach: eliminate bad carbs, mostly whole foods (lean protein, lots of veggies, a little fruit), intermittent fasting (2 meals between 12-7pm), move more, drink less alc (eliminating completely to start).

Anyone else setting goals that are not directly tied to the number on the scale?

I’m trying to get back to IF. It’s hard with all the overeating I’ve been doing. I’m currently spreading my meals farther apart, then next week will be only eating 11–7 window. Dry for 6 months. Weigh and track all my food, 64 oz water and stay in calorie deficit every day. Here we go!!

I love these goals!! I'm doing something very similar! Also wanted to share/recommend looking into the Fast-Mimicking Diet (you can set it up yourself, find recommendations online for how to do it, or just buy the $kit$ from Prolon). You only have to do it 5 days/month or quarter, so I find it manageable! And I always feel so much better after.
