Something clicked inside me recently . . . I’ve just been eating 1200-1600 calories a day and walking a couple miles. Yesterday I got a jump rope. I’m practically 1/4 of the way to 80 pounds. But I can’t think about that right now. My next goal is just to get to 20lb. And to stop eating so much Easy Mac.

Well I’ve lost ten pounds so far . . . eating less (1000-1500 per day), exercising (walking 2-4 miles per day), and keeping track of everything on calorie-count.com. I’ve also lost 2 inches off my waist and 2 inches from my hips. Go me!
I started out at 230 a week ago and now I’m 226 thanks to not eating as much and starting 2 pretty physical jobs. That sounds huge and it’s pretty big ‘m about a size 18 or 20. I have never been thin or even normal. I’m hoping to be 130 in about a year. According to lots of sources (including my doc), 130 is an appropriate weight for me (I’m 5’7” with a small frame) but it’s a little intimidating to write 4 pounds down, 96 to go.
Having just started those jobs, I haven’t fit in a workout yet. However, I plan on trying to fit in yoga DVDs, trail biking, and DDR once I get into the swing of things. For now, though, doing inventory and cleaning the store are wearing me out. Good luck everyone!
