Judy, that's a great idea!! At first I thought that my daughter, Amy, could wear them but she wears a different style than I do.....but now we're about the same size.

Weighed this morning and now at 245...yea!!! I'm happy. It's coming off slower now than it did for the first couple weeks, but at least it's still coming off. I think getting out and working in the yard is helping too. I love being outside, this year it just seems better.

I have not lost anything yet. I'm walking on my treadmill every evening right after work, at least 2 miles in 30-35 minutes. I work up a sweat and feel good about myself but it's not showing on the scale!

Lindsey, you probably won't lose any weight with exercise alone. I know it sounds crazy, but there have been lots of studies to show that exercise it not a good weight loss strategy unless you do like 2 hours per day or something like that. Exercise is very good at keeping the weight off after you lose by calorie restriction.

My program is telling me I'm allowed 1750 calories per day and I'm staying around 1500 every day

I think 1500 is too many for you in the beginning. 1200 is a good number to start with

Lindsey, from the pictures I don't see where you want to loose weight. But if you do, the best way is to start eating 5-6 small meals a day. Make tuna sandwiches an eat one half and save the other for a few hours later and so on. Keep slice apples deep in peanut butter to snack on.
