15 lbs. in a month and starting to see a small change!

Thanks @FaceTheFears and @half_moon! That means a lot.

Food: I've cut out as much processed food as possible (sodium was killing me, I'm a water-retaining camel), increased veg, and upped my water intake a ton. I've been diligently tracking every morsel and try to stay within the recommendations for carbs/protein/fat. My eating habits weren't terrible to begin with as far as the foods I chose, but portion size had really gotten out of wack, so now I weigh and measure whenever I can. Portion sizes are surprisingly small sometimes! *side eye at cashews*

Exercise: I have been looking for opportunities to add steps here and there, yoga, and the gym a couple times. Nothing super drastic exercise-wise, that's my next hurdle.

I think when you have more to lose it does tend to come off a bit faster in the beginning, but I'll take it!

@Error4 I think you are grossly over estimating my hand-eye coordination, but I appreciate the suggestion! I try to avoid sports where a ball can hit me. I dislike being hit, my vision is crummy (thanks 40!), I'm slower than a turtle, and my reflexes are only slightly better. I'm good at things like hiking, weight lifting, yoga, and walking where I can set the pace and no one hurls objects at me. I'm strong and bendy -- if anyone has suggestions for sports that play to my strengths, I'm all ears!
