    Hi, I'm Amanda. My goal is to not really lose weight (although it can't hurt), but rather to tone up and eat better. Ever since I got married in October, my workouts have suffered dramatically. I plan to get back in the swing of things without overdoing it. I hurt my back not too long ago paining, packing, moving boxes, and unpacking into our new house.

    CW: 127 lbs
    GW: 115 - 120 lbs

    My current daily plan of action:
    walk 30 minutes daily
    track what I'm eating
    100 sit-ups (back pain permitting)
    25 push-ups
    no soda (1 can weekly)
    no elevator (stairs only)

    #1 Log into My Fitness Pal Daily
    #2 Visualization of desired lifestyle changes ( Visualize eating healthy, walking the dog, being active--wearing that swim suit I love--looking great on the beach)
    #3 Meditation Daily
    #4 Re-Stock my Kitchen to reflect a healthy diet.
    #5 Keep up on my vitamins and water intake

    Overall be consistent!
    The weight will come off with a proper lifestyle. It would be nice to loose at least 10 pounds this month and considering I am just starting I don't find that unreasonable but any weight loss is great for me! (:wink: secretly I would really love to drop it by :heart: Valentines Day:heart: )

    hello all,

    Am new here, and this may help to start off:

    start the Runner World beginner running program
    Walk the dog down to the lake : Every. Single. Day. (lake is 1 km downhill - very steep...)
    increase swim pace and swim 3 times a week
    Replace breakfast with one big green juice at least 5 days a week
    eat fish 3 times a week
    cut down on cheese
    and hopefully loose 4 pounds (have about 50 to go but know by past experience than for me losing more than that means putting it back up - have lost 12 pds in one year and never seen them back....)
