I started the great weight loss/fitness challenge last Wednesday and I can say I am doing really well. I lost 4 pounds in the first week due to some minor calories counting errors. Now I am actually eating enough in the day to lose weight and still feel energized, which is good cause I am have spend every day exercising at least 30 minutes. I have been rotating between pilates, cardio, and weight training. On days I stay home I switch between pilates and cardio, and days I go to campus I switch between riding the stationary bike for at least 30 minutes or doing an intensive weight training with my classmate who used to be a personal trainer. Our first session was yesterday, and it lasted two hours because there are three of us that rotate on the machines. Each time I push myself in any of the exercises I get pretty sore, but it is a good sore and I can still function.
Although I don't see the pounds instantly melting away like I magically want them to, I can tell a difference because I actually HAD to wear a belt today. If I can keep up this pace though (the healthy one not the 4 pounds a week) I should easily make my goals by the end of April. I can also reach my toes on the V stretch the first time, so that is getting better too.

You are doing a great job! A trick I like for food decreasing is to drink water between each bite. Totally slows down my calorie binges! Sorry I haven't written in awhile, as you can see it is 2 AM and I'm on the computer in quiet. :>
That was me, by the way. Megan in NM
