Hello!
I just joined the forum...I guess I am looking for some direction, some advice, some help.
I have been a bit overweight for the past 6 years or so. After losing a significant amount of weight through unhealthy means and gaining it all back again, I have really struggled to get that weight back off. I have lost a lot of my self-worth worrying about the weight, how it makes me feel to be overweight, and how it has affected my quality of life.
I wanted something to work toward- something inspiring - something that would keep me motivated and keep me working harder to make me stronger. This is where my husband recommended non-competitive bodybuilding.
Here's the problem - I have NO idea where to start. So I am hoping you fine people might be able to put me in the right direction for what I am looking to do.
Is this something I can try to accomplish on my own? Would it be impossible without a trainer? Is a trainer recommended? And if so, how does one go about finding a good trainer, what kinds of qualifications would I need to look for?
I am generally a pretty active person - I don't mind lifting or weight based workouts (and actually prefer them to cardio). I try to workout at least 5 days a week. I feel like I push myself as much as I can without hurting myself (usually I am working out alone).
The biggest downfall for me is food- I usually eat a pretty healthy, plant based (I'm vegetarian) diet with very little junk food or refined sugars...but I don't eat a lot, and have terrible meal prep/planning skills. Most days I'll go without eating a hearty lunch and skipping dinner altogether simply because I am too lazy to prep things (a bad habit, I know, and I am trying to be more diligent about all things food).
I am hoping to find some good advice and starting tips on some of my new goals, any advice is welcome!
