Thanks Mikey, I'm a bit apprehensive about it... If I have any hope of finishing I have to walk 2 miles everyday 5 days a week for the next 9 weeks.
But by then I hope to have worked up to at very least 3 miles a day.

Thanks for stopping by everyone - the support is very much appreciated.
I'm kind of sore after my walk today - mainly the back area. I did a half session of Yoga to help loosen it up a bit but it's getting stiff again. I think I need a good massage... by a sexy man with strong hands... *lost in day dream* Oh.. um.. Your're still here?
... ok, I'm been staring at this little replay box about 5 minutes for something more to say and I'll be damned if I gots nothing. That walk took all of my steam. *sigh* Sorry guys.
Food & Activity:
Breakfast: Yogurt with 1/4c. granola, 1/2c. blueberries
Lunch: Salad witch cheese, fat free sour cream & salsa, oyster stew
Snack: Small granny S. apple, 8oz. B boost smoothie
Supper: 2/3 fillet of Hoki, 1 1/2c. spaghetti squash with margarine
Totals:
Calories (Goal 1640 - 1990): 1,244
Carbs (Goal 184 - 323): 146
Fat (Goal 36 - 77): 39
Protein (Goal 41 - 174): 84
Water: 100oz.
Exercise: 2 miles in 40 minutes, 15 minutes of Yoga

Thanks Toots!! I wish I had a crystal ball sometimes - just to know that things will get easier and that my work will eventually pay off. 25lb is awesome and 2 miles is great but they feel soo tiny when there's so much road ahead.

Pequin, i hear you!
When id lost 50lb i was happy that i had lost so much but when i looked in the mirror i was astounded that i was still a fat person - it was gutting and disappointing.
Now ive lost 75lb and im seeing the results. Getting the odd person now asking if ive lost weight, but still im fat.
I figure our day will come when you run into somebody you havnt seen in a while and they go "OH MY GOD! have you lost weight?!" its such a buzz.
Ive had it happen once or twice now and its a real thrill to finally get recognized.
You will get the same sooner or later - its motivational.
Whats almost as thrilling is having people seeing you work your ass off for it and say something about it because they KNOW how much you worked for it.
You go girl!

Never been called a positive person before... lol. Guess this forum brings out the good in me. And the talkative! I have a senior member thingy under my name.. I just started last month!! Wow.
I know it's a long processes and well worth all the hard work in the end, but I'm just so excited that I just want to be at the end already! I think this will make me a stronger person because in the end I can say - well, I lost xxx amount of pounds and that took guts and large amounts of strength, so maybe I can do this other thing. And this forum is such a great testament to what a good support system can do. In case I don't say it enough.. Thanks!
I think I over did it a bit yesterday. I woke up with a throbbing headache, stiff back and a little jittery... but that could also be due to the fact that I've been off of one of my blood pressure meds for about 3 days now. Either way - I think I will take it easy today - do my yoga, lift a few weights and call it a day.

Totally! And with the rest of the nation getting more and more overweight, you can say "I had the strength to conquer that!"
I'm convinced this is the hardest thing I've ever resolved to do, and am actually doing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can say that
And in the end we'll not only look great and be healthy, but we'll know we have the gumption to do so many other things.
