My New Year's Resolution

This is about how I feel right now....and the guy kinda looks like me, too. The combination of the "food-stamp fifty", Thanksgiving left-overs, and Christmas glutting combined with no exercise, sciatica, and school, I've put on a lot more weight than I want to lug around (my old man stretchy dress pants have stretched as far as they'll go). That being said, my goal is to get back down to 175 lbs., which means I have 25 lbs. to lose. By the way, no one should feel obligated to post their current weight or future weight. Jason suggested that we use percentages. For example, I way about 199 right now, so if I lose 5 lbs. (194 divided by 199), I'll be at 97% of what I used to be.

Anyway, here's how I purpose to reach my goal:
1) I'm attempting the impossible by limiting myself to one Coke a week, which will only be enjoyed if I reach my weekly goal.
2) I will exercise for 15 minutes, 3 times a week (this is to start off small and increase over time)
3) I will measure my progress daily and have a weekly goal to lose 2 lbs.
4) I will eat three meals a day and stop eating when I am full...not when my food is gone, plus the food that Vanessa and Lisa didn't finish (Lisa needs to gain the 25 lbs. I'm losing)
5) I will drink 60-80 oz. of water a day...and pee about 20 times a day.

I figure the best way to keep the motivation and accountability working for us will be to post on a weekly basis and report on whether or not we reached our goals. I expect I will have many weeks that don't go like I hope, but reporting on failures is just as important and helpful as reporting the successes. Good luck everyone and I hope to hear your goals soon.
