150 in 213

I am going to attempt something big.  This will require the support of my friends and family.  I would like to weigh 150 pounds by my 32nd birthday.  If I start seriously on February 1st that will give me 213 days to reach my target weight.

I need to lose roughly 25 pounds.  That is doable... right?

25 pounds in 213 days.

That is a one pound loss every 8 1/2 days.  I will just say one pound a week to make it easier.  If I really lost one pound a week, that would be about 30 pounds!  I will say a pound a week to give myself a little room to play with a pound or two.

I have not been 150 pounds since I was in high school, so it will be HUGE for me!  I have not really been under 160 pounds since having children.  This CAN happen and this WILL happen!  I cannot do it on my own though and I know it.  I need support.  Can you help with that???

Starting this Monday, I am going to begin exercising.  Hopefully this will jump start my loss.  I NEED to MOVE more!

I have NOT been very diligent about staying active.  The running thing did not work out.  I always found excuses.  This time WILL be different.  I am ready to feel better and LIVE better.

Wish me luck!
