Day 1 - Getting Started - Set your first goal..

Getting started is not easy, I know. But the best thing I did for myself and my weight loss journey, was to walk through the doors of my local Weight Watchers meeting. It was both extremely difficult, but also very exciting to know I wasn't going to be alone in my journey. 

Now that I had made a choice to lose weight and get my health and life back on track. I knew that the changes I was going to make had to be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed carefully. From there, I knew it was important to focus on my first goal. 

My first goal was to lose the first 5% of weight within 6 weeks. I worked out how much that was in total (4.25kg)and how many grams per week I had to aim for (700grams). Then I set about working out all the positive changes I could make to my diet and what type of exercise I would need to do to achieve my goal within the timeframe that I had given myself. 

I surprised myself and actually achieved that goal within 4 weeks and in the coming days I will share with you how I did it...

I know that some of you may be embarking on your own weight loss journey and may not be part of the Weight Watchers family. Weight loss, is weight loss and well done you for getting started. This journey will be one of highs and lows but most of all it will be worth it!! Because we owe it to ourselves to be the best self we can be. That means being healthy, stronger in both body and mind and at a weight that is comfortable for us to live with each day.
