I ordered it off Amazon and it came in the mail today. I'm very excited about it!

I've just started reading the book and will plan my grocery list so I can go shopping over the weekend!! Now, I just need to get motivated to add activity to my day and I'll be good to go.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I weighed 168lbs. I'm 5'2. It's very depressing to step on that scale. I want to lose at least 30lbs. but it seems like such a daunting task when I say it like that. So, how about if I set a goal of 4lbs. a month? Does that seem realistic??

I'd like to lose it by August - which is when my company's convention is. I want to be able to go on vacation afterward with DH and look good in a bathing suit.

Thanks for letting me vent!

It looks like you are really taking a realistic view to this.

You will be able to reach your goal and look awesome in August.

I have about 45-50 more lbs. to lose and I am hoping to lose 30 by July as I am going to Aruba for a graduation present to myself and my husband for putting up with me while I have been in school. We are going with a bunch of my schoolmates too--- to hopefully all be celebrating our graduation and RN licensing.

I know how you feel. DH high school reunion is this summer and I want to look GOOD!

We did not go to the same school...so it's important to me...since he is so darn cute!
