Setting My Goals

I had my annual physical exam.I spoke to the doctor about finding a plan to began my weight loss. First question he asked was," What did you weigh in your 20's." I told him 130-135. He told me that, should be my ultimate goal but it shouldn't be a short process. He stated that it should be at a slow pace, about 1-2 Pd's a week in order for the weight to not come back. These where his three suggestions suggestions.
1.Exercise at least 3 times a week for about 45 min.'s. Instead of walking he wants me to run two minute's to start and walk until I recover and again run, totalling 30 minute's.
2. Drinking only water. Bye-bye sodas or other empty calories.
3. No fast food.
He also told me once my metabolism speed up. I would eventually be able to introduce some of my favorite foods back limited though. He also stated that I should be careful, because most people over do it. They over exercise and under eat. To get the satisfaction of losing alot of weight and end up giving up because they can't keep up with there routine.
Now for my goals. I totally agree with doing this process slowly. I have learned over my years when I took my time to loss the weight that weight stayed off longer. So I am giving myself 1yr 365 days to reach my goal of 135 Pd's. I will try my hardest to stay on the program and I know it will be hard.
1. Exercise at least 4-5 times a week including the jogging like he stated.
2. Water w/lemon (avoid sodas at all cost)
3. Smaller portions of food.
4. Fast food only one day a week for only one meal. Preferable on the weekends when I'm not at home. (But attempt to take healthy snacks)
5. Journal everything.
I will update my progress once a month. That means weight and inches.
My weight today on there scale 205.5 BMI is 41.04 % (site BMI cal. for females)
