Because its just easier to compare goal weights, consumption, and progress with people your own height.

I'm back too

I'm back again. I've been exercising and counting calories for 2 days now. Seriously needing a healthy lifestyle change. Since the last time I posted in this group, my mind has been preocupied with completely different things. I haven't weighed myself in a long time, and I'm not really going to wiegh myself until I see 2 solid weeks of healthy living. I hope everybody is having a happy new year, and I look forward to reading about your progress.
For newbies, my name is Tonya, I'm 29 years old. I'm a single United States citizen, and I live in South Korea working as an English teacher. The food in South Korea is drastically different from the food on the North American continent, so every day I have to pick and choose random things. Right now, we are in the dead of winter. It snows almost every single day, and I have to walk nearly 2 kilometers to get to my work place, dodging random piles of ice and stepping in snow. There isn't a lot of food choices these days, so I've been eating a lot of meat and pre packaged things. There's a long winter ahead, and I'm just hoping that I can make it. I gotta say, even though I'm heavier than I want to be, I think the extra cushion helps me survive the walk to school and back from school (LOL) because it never gets above freezing! Anyway, nice to meet everybody.

I'm sorry you've been having a hard time. Do you still have your gym membership? Just start with the eating or the exercising instead of jumping back in all at once...you don't want to be overwhelmed and discouraged. You'll be back on track in no time.

Hey Tonya! So glad you have gotten back here to post. Not having access to the foods you want or should have has got to be frustrating. I did a 7 mile training walk in 28f weather yesterday and feel bad that you have to walk a couple miles everyday in that kind of temp. Add to thy you have to battle with snow and ice! ARGH! I hope the experience isn't too much for you.

Hang in there. Look forward to hearing how you are ding with everything.

Happy New Year! I'm happy to see you back. I know it has to be hard being out of the States but I know you can lead the healthy lifestyle you want to lead. Keep us updated!

I quit the gym because Koreans run barefoot on the tredmills. After a few months, a thin layer of gook happened on the rubber conveyor belt. This made me slip a few times on the tredmill. Luckily, there is a tredmill in my building. I've been doing that for 2 days. I'm going to stick with my apartment building, because I can jump rope, ride the bike, jog on the tredmill, do jumping jacks and run in place. It's so Cold in Korea!!!!
