I've heard the rule of thumb for optimal weight loss is 75% diet and 25% exercise. IMHO - Make changes slowly or at your own pace.

No pop, no alcohol. Just water, water, water. Great words of wisdom I have gotten on MFP is "Don't drink your calories!" :drinker: Note: I lost 4 lbs the week I cut out all diet coke and drank at least 8 glasses of water a day.

I am about 5'8.5" and 42 years old. I was at 135 all through my 20's, so that's my ugw. I am currently down to 148 (from 172), and still have a small "muffin top" and thick hips - I am hoping that the next 13 pounds will remove them, but I need to work on my body recomposition to smooth and firm things up!
