Dieting...

Thrilling topic, I know...

Weight loss - it's an unending cycle I fear! So, I'm starting again...

I've gained about 10-12 pounds since early last summer and I don't like it. I'm still no where near my topped out weight, but it's still time to do something about it. I'm out in Arizona with my mom right now and we've been on a pretty drastic diet that has left me hungry and crabby, but it's working!! Although, with this little food no wonder it's working! Here's what I had for lunch today...
  • 3.5 ounces of cottage cheese
  • 1/2 of a cucumber (no dressing)
  • 1 piece of Melbatoast (basically a cracker)
So far I think I've lost about 3-4 lbs, but it's hard to tell because her scale is different than mine (meaner for sure!!) and I didn't weigh myself before the first day. Either way I think I'm going to stay on this extreme diet until I leave here and then try to stick to a low carb, low cal, low fat version that gives me a little more freedom with the types of veges I can eat and so on.

Ultimate goal:
I want to be down under 130...I would love to be a size 4, although I never have been that small with my full adult height. I don't have too much to lose, prolly about 10-15 lbs depending on what I have to weigh to be a 4.
