Hi, I'm Laura. I started my diet and exercise regimen back in mid January in hopes of changing my relationship to food and creating a new lifestyle. My starting weight was 198 lbs, I had gotten down to 184 lbs before traveling to Chicago at the end of February. Upon my return, I weighed in at 189 lbs (this totally bummed me out!). Over the past week and a half I have gotten back on the bandwagon, have lost one more pound and am hoping to see better results in the weeks to come. My goal weight is 140 lbs, which I would like to achieve by July. My current plan is based on eating well-balanced meals, counting calories and exercising at least 4 days per week. This week, I've upped my activity to two hours at the gym. I have a friend that works out with me most days and another friend that I check in with to discuss out progress, but I'd love to have even more people to help motivate me. One thing I've been wanting to get into is weight lifting/training. I'm not very confident that I can come up with good workouts, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to have them.
