Ht. 5'1", Start: 182 lb, Today: 173 lb, Goal: 125 lb - Hi all! I've been battling weight loss as long as I can remember, and I've decided that it is finally time to get myself in gear. I'm away at college, but I've actually lost 10 pounds. Not because I've been healthier or working out, but mostly because the food is so bad that I don't eat as much, which is a good thing I guess. Last night I took a jazzercise class at my school which was actually a lot more fun than I thought. It combined cardio with a total body workout, much more exciting than just running on the tread mill. I'm hopin to continue with the class 2 nights a week. This morning I did the elliptical for 20 minutes (4 miles), did the weight machines, and walked a mile on the track. For breakfast I had a bowl of cheerios and grapes. Around 11 I had a special K 90 cal bar, and for lunch around 2:30 I had a veggie wrap (cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, olives, & oil and vinegar). I'm going to try to find something healthy from the cafeteria for dinner..although there are not many healthy choices here. I also went food shopping and bought some healthy foods like fat free yogurt, hummus, and whole wheat crackers. This time I really want to keep up with it!! Good luck all!!
