Hi
I'm Kate. Turning 40 in a few weeks, 219.8.
1) I need to lose 20 pounds to reach 199.
2) I hope to do that by March 15.
3) I am calorie counting, 1200 calories, and trying to do "productive" exercise every day (i.e. housecleaning, yardwork, playing with dogs, etc.)
The motivation for my weight loss is not dying of a complication of obesity in the ten years instead of dying of old age. Looking hot and cute is great too.
