I got married almost 2 years ago, and I've been gaining a lot of pounds, besides I become a smoker and I went away my healthy life before I get married...but... I told a friend of mine I can get back to my shape and healthy lifestyle in 6 months. If a make it, I'll winning 500 dlls, and if I lose, I'll be losing 500 dlls.
I started in january by modifying my cooking habits and making a little of cardio, and I've lost 5lbs. I need another 20 more, but I'm feeling healthier and thinner :big_smile:

I wish I would have bet $500 with someone.

If 25 lbs is your goal that's doable in 6 mths (roughly about a lb a week), don't try to lose more then 2 lbs a week though...as you'll be losing muscle at that point which will cause you to put back on the weight quicker. Otherwise the closer you get to your goal the tighter you'll need to buckle down on your diet.
