Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 9 Dec 2007 01:31 I don't own a scale. My dad does, but I don't normally use it. I weigh myself once or twice a month at the most. I was at the doctor and they were like "128 lbs...you lost a good amount of weight" and I was like WTF?
Cardio King Fitness Guru Posts: 1784 Cardio King Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!" Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190 I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.	# Posted: 9 Dec 2007 04:31 - Edited by: lglcctj I define myself by how long I do cardio...after all, I AM CARDIO KING!
