Thank you all for the encouragement. I find it so inspiring when people post their progress pictures (whether the change is drastic or more subtle) and that has really helped to keep me motivated.

I'm a calorie counter. I just decided that I was going to be hardcore organized, using Word and Excel to keep track of what I was eating, how many calories were in what I ate, and how many calories I burned working out. I don't keep track of carbs, but I'm aware of them and have really cut down on bread.
I'm very fortunate that there's a gym in the building where I work, so it's convenient for me to work out. In the mornings (although I've been slacking with this a bit lately) I work out with weights and a stability ball. Then at lunch and after work, I do cardio (1/2 hour each time) at the gym. On weekends, I just do weights. All together, I work out 17 times a week, which seems like a lot, but it's been working for me. I'm sure this quote has shown up on the board before, but I try to keep it in mind: "No one said it would be easy, they only said it would be worth it."
Anyway, I know it can be tough for us "shorter" girls; I still feel short even though 5'4" is supposedly the height of the average woman. I wish you luck in your own efforts!
