No, the goal is not to get a drivers license. I've had that since I was 16, at which time my weight was 166#. No, the goal is to get back to 166# before I renew my license in 2013. Some of you may have heard me mention this goal before. Well, I've officially started. I ended 2011 at 238# and my Jan goal was 235#. I was close. I weighed in at 236#.

Now to work on Feb. I'm aiming for 232#. I need to watch my late night snacks. Those are my downfall calorie-wise. I've been doing 60 minutes on the hand bike every day (I did 90 minutes yesterday) plus strength training 3 times a week. I'm getting in some extra work Tuesday nights when I do extra strength training while watching 'The Biggest Loser'. I'm going to try and do 90-120 minutes on the hand bike daily. I also expect to have my mini trampoline set up soon.A
Final weigh-in for Feb was 235.4. Again not what I wanted, but headed in the right direction. I think it would have been closer to goal except TOM showed up last night. Aaccckkkk!! I'm 52 and I was promised menopause by now!! Anyway, the official March goal is 229#. I think I'll be happy if I make at least 232#.

The final number for March was 237. I was down to 232 I swear! So close! All it took was a couple of bad days. I was actually doing really well. Stayed within range...then BLAMMO! To the moon! Even though TOM will probably be arriving any day, I should still have been down to at least 230. Would have been happy to stay at 232. Oh well! S#%* happens. April's original goal was 226, so I'm way behind. Aiming to get back down to 232, but at least 230 would be better. Need to knuckle down and increase my activity.

5/1/12. ~~sigh~~ The final weigh-in for April was 236.
Must make time to be more active! Even though there have been bad days, that's not enough to account for the scale. I can't put all the blame on stress. I have to take responsibility for my actions...or lack thereof. Mays goal was supposed to be 223. I'll take what I can get as long it's going in the right direction.
