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.

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