I'm so glad to be able to join the group. I know that if I have to tell you guys how i am currently doing...I'll be more motivated to work out. I just got weighed at the doctor's office on tuesday and weighed 141 lbs. My doctor said that my highest weight was around Thanksgiving last year at 149 1/2 lbs. So, i'm on my way to loosing. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I cannot eat or drink anything other than water after 6pm if i want to get a good night's sleep without taking zantac. I have what is called GERD/acid reflex. I know that that has all helped, but now I need to be more consistent with my exercising. I do have a dvd from Biggest Loser that i actually get quite a workout from when I do it.
I do have another motivation for working out....last year I had my first panic attack. Since then I've a had another big one in march where my body was actually shaking uncontrollably. The only way I can deter them now is by exercising. The doctor said that they will get worse if I don't do something about it now. Our bodies sure have a way of letting us know what they really need.
So, beginning this coming week i'm going to try to workout consistently. And i'll let you guys know how things are going. My goal is to loose at least 6 more lbs. I want to get down to 130-135 b/c that is where i feel good.

Good Job, Amanda! How encouraging to see the progress you've made since Thanksgiving! I know, I feel like sharing with everyone will give me accountability to keep working on it! My biggest struggle is wanting faster results. I already feel so much better, but I'd like to start to see it in how my clothes fit and the number on the scale!
You're brave to actually put amounts on there, but I guess noone but us will see it. Congrats on your progress so far. Are you limited to what you can eat (like Mexican, spicy foods, etc.?)
