I liked reading your progress from last year and your goals for next year. Thank you for sharing :)
Those are all admirable goals. Lifting weights and staying within a balanced diet will melt the weight off. Alot of people are scared that if they lift heavy weights they will bulk up. The truth is that the more muscle you have the more energy your body uses to feed those muscles, hence the more weight you will lose.
Anyway, it sounds like alot of hard work. Good luck.
Well, hard work helps me avoid looking back at my life and saying 'If only I'd' etc etc. :)
And I will bear that in mind re: the weights. :) I'll keep you posted on how its going ;)
And (to Christy) you're welcome :) It is fun to see the transition from one to the other :)
