First of all, I'd like to thank those supporters last year and would like anybody who wants to join me to keep updates too.
Last year I started at 193 I believe and planned on losing 15 pounds. I actually lost 23 for my trip and gained NONE of it back on the trip. I've been around 170-180 for the past 6-7 months. I've gone up another 10 to 190 this last months. We've had a family tragedy and we have been getting lots of food from family and friends. Thanks to all of them, but it's time to get back to work!
Today -- 162 days out (hey that's a whole baseball season) I am at 190. My goal is to get back to the college days at 150. So that's 40 pounds in 5.5 months. That still breaks down to less than 2 pounds a week. Anything more than a goal if 2 pounds a week can be dangerous.
I started today with an apple for breakfast and trail mix for lunch. Dinners will have to be moderated and NO MORE DESSERT OR OVERNIGHT SNACKING. I'm sure since the first 10 went on fairly quick they may come off in the first month -- but then the real grind starts.
If anybody else wants to join me, I'll do updates Wednesdays and post them for everybody. Just IM me. I am very serious about this and it's time to hit the treadmill. Dieting without exercise is easy, but to make a healthy heart, you need to make your full body healthy, not just your waistline. I'm starting with a Mile run tonight and will try to build up to 3 miles by the end of the month as well. What happened to those days when I could do a 10K effortlessly? Oh, and tonight is pasta night at Olive Garden. To-Go boxes are our friends.

PS, sorry about slacking off last year and not updating after the trip, will do better this year.

The good news is we arent going til Nov 16th so we still have time! DH and I are trying South Beach and I have to exercise or nothing will happen! He can lay on the couch and just eat the plan and loose! I went to dr's appt and looked on the weight chart. I cheated and gave myself an extra inch in height and I still need to loose 30 lbs to not be overweight! DH needs to loose 50+ for starters! My DF and her DH need to loose probably 40+ each and her DCousin needs to loose at least 40 also! So here's to hard work, strong will power(even harder) and no bread!!
