Half way there!!!!

WooHoo!!!! This morning I reached my half way goal, by losing 30 pounds! This past December 28, 2010 when I got on the scale and saw the highest weight I had ever been, I said "today is the day". I told my daughter I was going to try and lose weight. She gave me a challenge, that if I could lose 30 pounds by the end of June, she would take me to Las Vegas. I started logging everything I put into my mouth and kept my calories at minimum of 1200. The first month I lost 13 pounds, without any exercise. I said this is a cake walk....Vegas here I come!!! I then thought I would speed up the process by starting to walk. I walked 1 mile a day 5-6 times a week. The scale slowed down, but I started to feel great! I am now walking a minimum of 2 miles a day, and on several days have walked a total of 6 miles. My dog Cracker is also benefitting from this. I've told my daughter that I would now like to set a new goal before going to Vegas, and go for the JACKPOT of a total of 60 pounds by Christmas.
