    My diet plan is 1400 cals/day, 40% protien, 30% carbs, 30% fat. NO white flour, sugar, or fried foods.

    My exercise plan is: 3 days/week weight/resistance training, 3 days/week cardio.

    My short term goal is to lose 2 lbs by the end of the week.

    My long term goal is to get down to 120 lbs by March!!

    My diet plan is 1200/day (unless I workout), and 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat. That is what I really need to work on - figuring out the carb/protein/fat combo that works for me and staying within it. Staying within the calories is easy, but it's so easy to go over on everything else!

    Exercise plan - slowly increase from running 3 miles/day 5 times a week to running 5 miles/day, 5 times a week. Also to increase my weight training and lose inches on my arms - or at least make them more defined!

    Short term goal - Lose another pound by next week.

    Long term goal - To lose 3 more pounds and to just be healthy. Mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally stronger.

    That sounds like a great plan! I am also working on getting back into running. I have had 2 successful days so far. I used to run daily up to 10km a day, then I had surgery and just couldn't get myself back into it and as a result gained 10lb. I am really excited to put that behind me and get on with being the healthiest I can be. I realized that I really missed running, what a great outlet, not to mention the cardio benefit!! Hope to hear from you again!!
