(1) Love your body!

This is what I wrote on my big list of goals/dreams I was going to accomplish in the next 2 years.

I started Protein Power Nov 29th, 2009. I started at 164 lbs.

My "ideal weight" range from the calculations in the book is 135-125lbs.

As of the end of Week 7 I have lost 20.5lbs, coming out to 143.5: 8.5 pounds until I am at the top of my weight range!! I can't believe it!

I have probably not been this light since freshman year of college. I will not be able to believe it when I get in the 130s!!

I've been over in the protein power forum, which I really like, but I have been coming here to have more to read and found some really great stuff, especially around weight training and the success stories and learning about other LC plans people follow.

I am one of those people that needs regular reminding/motivation to keep going for a goal, and I've found message boards help me in that. So . . .

HELLO!

I've put up a "before" pic, and will need to get a good body shot now for my "progress" pic since I'm half way to the ideal weight.

Thanks for having me!
