Can I join in here? My husband and I are going on our first cruise in March 2024 (yes, it’s a long way off).
This week I am down to 252 lb, from 258 at the beginning of the year. I always lose a lot right at first, but that rate won’t continue for long. I’m counting calories, trying to have a decent protein/fat/carb ratio, making sure to eat some veggies and fruit, but not following any prescribed diet otherwise. My ability to exercise is limited by flat feet and an associated ankle injury, but I do go to the gym 1-2x per week and find things to do that won’t aggravate my ankle.
I’ve been fat most of my adult life, but need to get it under control because I feel like it’s impacting my health more the last few years. If I am disciplined and can lose a pound a week until our cruise, I will be under 200 lb for the cruise, which would be fabulous. It won’t be easy sticking to it, but I’m going to try!
