September

Options
my birthday is coming up on September 18 and I've been doing so well with diet and exercise so I decided I want to be at, at least 135 by then - I want to feel great on birthday and I decided...if I get to 135 by then I'm going to reward myself I just don't know how yet.

I started at 165 and I'm now down to 143 - from now till September 18, can I get down to 135 or less?

BTW any workout video suggestions?

    Ive got ways to go before I get there but my goal is 130 and when Im close to it like 150 I plan on getting the turbojam I hear its pretty intense with cardio and think I can handle it by then and help reach my goal when smaller since those last lbs can be stubborn, but thats only 8 lbs in month and a half you can do it!

    I tried Zumba at my local GYM and it was fun, the problems then were

    the room was too tiny, the music was boring (instructor had bad taste), and sometimes it was a little sloppy - but even then I was putting every effort into it...until the GYM shut down :\

    Hey! One day before me :) I love Jillian Michaels dvds too - they're a great workout but there's actually no Zumba classes around here - we did but then the GYM closed down to we're Zumbaless :\ might just try a Zumba video.
