Ht. 5'3", Wt. 204... blah! - So far this year I haven't visited this site very much... I don't think that helps any... but I lost 15 pounds a year ago, and have maintained it for a year now! I guess that's good. Anyways... I want to get back on track with my weight loss. I am working right now to save up some sweet moolah for college next year... and I would LOVE to lose 50-70 pounds before then. I am aiming for 50 for now, because I don't know how I will look after that much weight loss. It's great because where I work, I have the healthiest choices for food I could possibly imagine! Everything there is healthy and fresh except for the cookies, haha! My problem is, when I get home from work, I tend to snack... and then I snack again about an hour or so after dinner. And if it was a healthy choice like fruits or veggies, that would be fine, but I usually pick something dumb like ice cream or chocolate... or something bad like that. So I need work on that. Another thing, is I am totally out of shape!!! I need some serious toning... especially in my abs. I was thinking about doing a pilates tape I have that combines cardio and strength training, three times a week... and I work about 20-30 hours a week... so if I can change those things (getting more exercise and healthier snacking), is that good, and will I lose weight fast enough? Any comments or suggestions are very much appreciated! And sorry this thing is so long... Hope you all got through it ok. Thanks! -sHeKiNa♥
