Ht. 5'5, Wt. 153 - Well, today was a bit of an iffy day, and it will probably remain that way. I had cereal for breakfast, a 5 cal jello for a snack, and then we went to Bob Evans. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and some green beans. I also had an 80 calorie yogurt when I got home. It was tough, but it was for Father's Day, and I'm hoping that I didn't go over 1200, because that's all I've had today. I don't think a walk is going to happen today either, because I can't seem to gather a walking buddy anywhere. *sigh* I guess I'll just count it as an off day, and get back on the wagon tomorrow.
Anyways, besides that, things are going okay. People are starting to notice my weight loss, and I'm hoping to be 150 this weekend. :D

thats pretty good =] great job but dont always count on someone to come to excersize just b.c you cant find anyone to walk with means you dont walk either listening to the ipod/cd player or reading a magazine always helps make the time go faster. i used to always count on someone to come with me to excersize and id never go if someone didnt come with me and then i thought am i going to keep waiting on people? so think about that =] g0od luck

I have buddies; I just don't have a walking sort of buddy. I'd go walking by myself, but my parents won't let me. That's the problem. Usually my mom will go with me, but she's been sort of off the wagon lately. Instead of walking though, I went outside and helped her with the garden, pumping the water (we use one of those hand pitcher pumps for outdoors stuff like watering the garden), and I helped her plant some stuff. It wasn't anything big, but I'm sure it helped to burn calories. I made her sign a paper that said she'd go walking with me today. ;) I know that sounds weird, but if they won't let me go walking by myself, yet they won't go walking with me, what else can I do?
Anyways, thanks for the support guys. You all are the best! :D

Girl I am proud of you! But when you said you wouldn't go walking because you didn't have a buddy...that hurt me. I know it is a lot better to have someone to workout with, but even so, you've got to do this weight loss thing for YOURSELF. So even if you don't have a buddy, keep on walking! You'll feel a lot better because you accomplished something great! -xoxo
