FOOD AND WATER
water: 16-24 oz of "plain" water a day min (I already guzzle Crystal Lite like it's going out of style - about a liter a day)

food: as of Monday the 8th I am going back to Seattle Sutton delivery - the 1,200 daily calories plan. The challenge there is not to cheat.
However, I am considering getting it every OTHER week only, so I can cook and eat dinner with my husband, and use the leftover SS dinners as lunches. SO... I commit to eating SS - and when I don't, to try as best I can to keep within the 1,200 calories a day range by eating balanced, appropriately portioned, nutritious foods only.

ACTIVITY
Work out at least 5 days a week- 1 hour minimum.

Will check in everyday and update. I know we can do this so lets go girls.

I just realized if I can lose the 15 that will be a milestone of 100lbs gone. Wow did I just get another boost of determination.

Kim, that would be the ultimate of all goals! I will help you in any way you need. If you are feeling weak just call me! I'll talk you through. When you lose that 15 you are going to be the happiest girl in the world!

Xan, Thank you . I know how happy I am about the 85 so I don't see me giving up anytime soon. I need to proof a point to the so many that are doubting me. You ladies here are great love ya Kim
