So I’m giving myself 90 days to hit the weight of 150 pounds. I started June 5th, which means I should be at goal August 5th. I started at 170 so I have 40 pounds to lose in 3 months. It sounds like a lot but it’s just a little over 13 pounds a month, which I know is doable because I tend to carry a lot of water weight. Today, June 7th, I’m at 168. I already lost 2 pounds! which is very exciting. My plan is to hit the gym 5 days a week and to the elliptical machine, also 2 of those gym days will add a spinning class. Food-wise I’m going to eat 5 small meals a day and no eating after dinner, period. and of course lots of water!

I’m in therapy and taking St. John’s wort for the depression that caused me to pile the pounds back on, so I feel confident that this weight loss will stick.
