I am soooo proud of myself!  I am down a total of 15 lbs so far and 9 inches since 12/15/07, so just over a month.  I am going to the gym 6 days a week and loving it.  I am doing my very best in martial arts even though I am in over my head there.  It is the toughest workout I have ever done - both physically and mentally.  I love the challenge of it.  My eating is going really well - I'm not even having cravings for anything.  I am completely satisfied.  And I feel so much better!  I haven't had any "bad tummies" since I've started eating better.  I really like all of the foods I am eating and will continue with them even after I hit my goal.  I also love eating small meals every few hours and will continue with that.  I know that that is the biggest contributor in the lack of cravings.  I am well on track for losing all of the weight by my goal.  I gave myself until June '09, but if I keep going like I am, it will be more like Oct. '08.  I'm sure I will plateau somewhere, too, so I'm not counting on Oct., but either way, I'll probably finish well before June.  I have started plans to lose weight many times in the past, but I have never been able to stick with anything for more than a few days, so being on this plan for this long and actually feeling stronger as time goes on instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop is what I am most proud of.  Way to go, Becky!!!!!
