Hi, I'm Callie.
I'm 53yo female, 5'4" and I weigh 206 as of this morning. My goal is 165 by July - that's when my daughter is getting married. I want to the the hottest MOB I can be. I want to lose about 40lbs.
Answering LillianB's question, I'm not gonna give up anything! Well, none of my favorite foods and/or treats. I am gonna give up mindless eating, wasted time sitting at the computer or watching TV. I will limit my computer/TV time to 30min a day, usually when I'm cooling down from a workout.
I am going to add 2-3mile walks 5x/week with my dog, a weekly 4-6mile hike with said dog and I'm going to start cycling again. This month I pledge 80 walking/hiking miles and 40 cycling miles.
So far I have 3 hiking miles and 4 walking miles.

Good for you for wanting to be healthy, and really working at it.
That is quite an exercise program you have.
I am trying to lose some. I will not give up any food. I am working on portion control and more movement.
My best to you and please let us know your progress.
Welcome to the group! What kind of eating plan are you doing? Just portion control? That , and low carb, is what I am doing and I have lost 50 lbs in 4.5 months. I have a lot more weight to lose than you do so it will come off a lot faster. But, it does work. And with all that exercise you are doing, you will definitely be the hottest MOB of all!
