[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 3762993, member: 63"] Last summer, one of my female friends lost about 30 pounds in preparation of getting proposed to. *grin* She put a lot of effort into it, but the results were fast and dramatic. Me, I'm 5'10", I currently weigh 210, and I would like to ultimately get to 180. This month I'm shooting for losing 5 lbs., which has eluded me for a long time. I was getting close to that when I tore my ACL and was unable to exercise for months, but now I'm back to jogging, and it's actually required by my physical therapy that I be active, so it shouldn't be too hard. Thing is, I tend to be a lunch person, and most of my friends are dinner people, so I either have to skip out on social dinners, or skip out on lunch. I think honestly if I adopted better sleep habits, I'd feel less lethargic in the afternoon, and would have less desire to eat to get up my energy. But I'm also trying to save money, and lunch is generally cheaper than dinner. Ah, dilemmas. However, I've realized that a) soda is unnecessary, and b) it's expensive. If I had a soda every day at a restaurant, that habit would almost be as expensive as smoking.
