How did you start your healthy/weight loss journey ?

Question

Did you wake up one day and just decide to start? Was it a gradual change? Did you join a program?  How did you turn one day into today? 
I’ve been “trying” to start a healthier lifestyle since my daughter was born 4 months ago but nothing has really changed. I keep saying I’ll start tomorrow or we’ll start with this and slowly work my way up. But tomorrow has to come. I serious self motivation problems

Answer

I just woke up one day, downloaded a calorie counting app and started using it and stopped eating processed foods. I lost 30 pounds in 5 months. The first 20 just by calorie counting (it was winter and deathly cold) and the next 10 by counting calories and walking/hiking. I was 167 after I gave birth and 135 five months later. My fiancé did the same around this time but went low carb and dropped 60 pounds in 5 months. The calorie counting app is a great way to see how much you’re actually eating. Sometimes you have to adjust it to actually lose weight. When I began using it it suggested 1600 calories a day, but that did absolutely nothing for me. I lowered my calorie intake to 1300 and the weight started coming off.

Answer

For us we just stopped buying the “bad food” when we started shopping better it just happened easier.
