Aug 30 to Jan 30...

Im down over 70 pounds... weighing 200.5 as of tonight, missing my Onderland Goal by a Month and a 6/10 os a pound... no biggie, Im focused and changing the game plan.....

For the Month of February Im "experimenting"... doing some HEAVY exercising as well as upping my calories ( AND CARBS!) to fuel by body for said exercise... my goal is now going to be 1000 to 1200 a day.... still lower than recommended for the amount of exercise Im to be doing but we shall see how it works... I still have 70 pounds to go to my ultimate goal so some shaking up in in order...

Im also saying goodbye to the scale for the entire Month... Im putting it in the trunk of my car until March 1st... well after tomorrow I will... Im going take one last weight measure ) and maybe see that 199 on the scale) ... then measure my body ( neck, full bust, under bust, waist, hips, thighs and calf) then not do it again until March 1st...

so I will likely be spending a LOT LESS time around OH, VST and TT messageboards.... the temptation to check progress is greater when Im reading stories of everyone's journies...

the hope is to be down 10-15 pounds per month til July 1....

sounds like a plan!

and it is SO SMART to strategize! (did i spell that right??)

Anyway-- please check in round March 1 & let us know how it worked!
