I did it! I made my "goal" weight of 155 lbs by July 4th weekend!

However, now that I made it ... I realize that I should not quit. I would still like to loose a few more pounds (at least 5 more) and then go into maintainance mode.

Because of time, I have been concentrating on cardio (5x/week) and not weight-training. I found I couldn't do both.

So, once I drop another 5lbs or so, I'll do cardio 3x/week and add in weight-training 2-3x/week again. That means, I should "gain" some weight but it will be "muscle" weight not fat!

Anyway, just wanted to share some good news ... I DID IT!

WHOO HOO!!

Oh it's not going well at all. I was on prednisone for a month which caused a weight gain. Can't budge the pudge. I have been doing cardio 5 times a week. Still nothing. If 3 spin classes and 2 days of walk/running on a trail for an hour a pop doesn't work I don't know what will. going for a physical with my doctor for (hopefully) some answers. It's been frustrating.

Thanks for asking. I'm so proud of you!
