I'm down 2.5 pounds. I started Step Mondays and Wendsdays, and Water Aerobics Tuesdays and Thursdays. On my off days I spend between 10 and 20 mins on my gazelle, depending on the kids. I'm trying to limit my calorie intake to about 1200 a day. I'm hoping to be between 115 and 120 pounds by June, I hope I can hang in there. Jonny's party is next weekend. I'm doing the works! My menu includes: RiceBBQ Short Ribs Grilled Chuck Eye steaks BBQ chickenHOt dogsGrilled oystersPotato saladCucumber saladCrab saladKleaguen (island style tatar)Eggplant Jalapeno poppers Custard CakeStrawberry and blueberry Cheesecake Birthday Cake (of course)  As you can see it's going to be very hard to be good with all this food, I'm hoping since I'm the one cooking it ,all the smells and tasting everything will make me less hungry. I'm granting myself 3000 calories for that day... then the next day I plan to hit the gym...HARD!!!!! Oh god grant me strength...lol...
