Lose 20 pounds
Untitled

I am 163 right now. I was 172 and I want to be 145. I have 17 pounds to go!
I am trying the South Beach Diet, and following the Fitness magazine Binkini Body 2009 exercise program.
Since starting those two things, I dropped 2 pounds.
I hope it continues!



lose 25 pounds
Last shot at this

When I started out, I was 172, my heaviest ever. Right now I am 164. I have made some progress, but still would like to lose about 17 pounds to be at 145. I normally eat about 1,500 – 1,800 every day, so I am trying to lower that a little bit. I am trying to exercise everyday. Not just 15 minutes but 30 or 45. I know it is a bit unhealthy to lose weight very fast, but I want to lose that last 17 pounds by May 25, 17 days. So that is one pound a day.

I want to go on a juice fast. I have done it before for 5 days, lost 7 pounds, gained 2, and kept off the other 5 pounds I lost. So I will fast for about 14 days (2 weeks) to get the weight off, and leave some room for a few pounds weight gain afterward.

I’m just really tired of trying and trying and nothing happening. I will get off that weight, and continue with a healthy lifestyle afterward.



grow a garden (read all 4 entries…)
Started my garden!! :)

I started my garden on April 18. I am growing arugula, romaine lettuce, tomato, nasturtium, morning glory climbers, coriander, parsley, strawberry, and wildflowers. They are doing very well!

I made a big mistake though. Usually, anything I try to grow dies, so I figured that I would plant all the arugula in the packet. Well, they all came up. 200 of them. Ha! So I am planting them in rows, giving them to my friends in groups of 20 or so. I could not bring myself to pick the little seedlings. But I ended up having to.
