I made the mistake of opening up my big mouth and volunteered to be diet-support in Nicole's weight loss venture. And by support I don't mean sitting on the sidelines and chanting "Go Nicole, don't eat!", that would be too easy, I actually have to set a goal and lose the weight as well. And it's not that I don't want to be supportive or anything, I just don't want to have to work out more or make any changes to my normal cheese/bread/wine diet. Like most folks I'm all about the wanting to lose weight and not-so-all-about doing something about it. I am a "I want it when I want it" kind of gal.
Most would say I don't even need to lose weight but I have added to my girth (3-5 lbs) since quitting smoking (2 years ago) and since I am OLDER (as in older than most of you) it is harder to drop the lbs when I desire. When I was younger I would simply skip a dinner here or there and stay at my desired weight. Not so easy any more.
So, I guess I'll go to the gym today and weigh myself and then set a goal. I forgot to ask Nicole how much time I had to whittle away my fat, so I better drop it quick. She's way younger than me so I need a head start.
UPDATE:
Weighed myself at the gym and I wasn't as bad off as I had thought. I am shooting for 2 lbs, not a lot I know but the stuborn few are harder than big poundage. I was going to say I have a small frame but I'm 5'10" so I guess small isn't really accurate but I do have small bones, so the 2 lbs will take me to where I was a few years ago. I won't tell you how much I weigh (or how little for that matter) as it always gets me in trouble. "Twig girl" and "strong wind will blow you away" are usual answers.
Good luck!
