Thanks for the warm welcomes! It certainly helps to keep one motivated!
Yes, Amy, our stats are really similar - congrats on reaching your goal, that's great. Definitely an inspiration. I haven't been in the low 120's since high school. I don't really have an exercise plan - I just try to work out for an hour at least 4 x week. But like my weight, my appearance at the gym is on again off again. (It was yesterday as I left the gym that I decided I needed to find a support group to avoid the off again).
Sometimes I can get really specific with food and count every calorie and macro nutrient, but right now I'm just eyeballing it. 3-4 oz. lean meat with a small cup of starch and hopefully some vegetables in there as well. The 'health' meal I love best is a protein shake I mix with ice into a smoothy... chocolate protein powder, 1 banana, chocolate almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter. It's under 300 cals and it's sooo tasty!
Yes, Ilene, WE CAN do it!
Ha, ha, sorry about the cookie temptation
Catch you all later and thanks again!
