    Hey monkia,
    I'm doing well. My goal is to start out losing 2 lbs a week,. I've never really paid attention to calories so I don't really know how much but I would say around 1600-2000 a day. Right now I'm only walking and chores around the house but eventually when I lose some of this weight I'll like to add some strength training. So far since I've started I've walked 2 miles. I'm aiming for around 4-5 miles of walking a week. My other goal is to increase my water intake, I'm really bad about not getting fluids in me so I'm also aiming for 6-8 glasses of water a day.

    thats good...my tip when you wake up MAKE yourself drink atleast 2 glasses! i make myself some fresh orange /lemon (2 oranges 1 lemon) jucie, and then drink a glass of water on top of it- it hydrates me plus makes me eat less at breakfast...also a bottle of water by your hand all the time is a good reminder that you should drink :)


    walking is goooood! ad some walking uphill, or just add some faster intervals so that you really get your HB up- thats GREAT for burning calories :) as for strenght training, you dont have to wait.... get some 1.5l bottles that you have at home and do some squats with pushing the hands (with the bottles) above your head- they ROCK :)

    True :) I do have some 2 littler bottes laying around. Might as well use them to burn calories. :)
