My Official PlanMy Official Plan
Alisha760 said: "This is mostly to help keep myself accountable. My wedding is in about 5 weeks. My goal is to lose 12 lbs. in 5 weeks, that is 2.4 lbs a week. I have a hard time losing weight since I am close to my goal. I need to walk more than most since I have a desk job and don't get any exercise other than walking.
Even if I do not meet my goal, I will still be happy that I stayed on track. My plan:
*Walk for 2.5 hours a day. That is 7.5 miles a day. (I already do this)
(1 hour at lunch time at work, 1.5 hours at home)
*Consume 1,000 calories a day.
*Work out with weights every other day.
*Stay motivated and even if I walk for an hour its okay as long as I actually move.
*No eating out/candy/desserts/etc. until my honeymoon!
I know more than likely I won't lose 12 lbs in 5 weeks, but I need to prove to myself that I can be an active, disciplined person.
Any advice??"

I don't know anyone to go walking with at home other than my fiance and at work no one wants to walk with me. I use to go to a gym but its hard to keep myself motivated to drive an hour total thru traffic. So I bought a weight set and a gym set so I can work out at home and walk on a treadmill too."

Good luck. :)"

I bet it's kind of nice having an hour of quiet time in the middle of your work day. :)"
