I forgot to check in on this site, but I reached the lower goal...I lost 5 pounds by Valentine's Day, and now 8 pounds total! I turn 52 at the end of the month and my new goal is to lose at least 5 more pounds-- I want to be below 199 by my birthday.

March 29: 199 or less
April 24 (Easter): 190 or less

During Lent I am committing myself to exercise 5 out of 7 days for at least 30 minutes (ideally, 1 hour), Not eating at any restaurant that has a "drive-through" lane (not even in a hurry!), drinking at least 90 ounces of water each day, and Bringing my lunch 4 out of 5 days. (March 9-April 23, 2011) (The water will be the hard part!)
