hey!
I'm 4 foot 11, and currently weigh about 110 lbs. I started at 130 in april and cut my calories and began walking - got really good results. I'm not counting calories anymore.. just eatin sensibly.. eating well, and no junk. ( found that by keeping a food diary I could learn a good amount to eat per day.) I walked about 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. my goal is 100 lbs ( my doc okayed this as I have a really small frame).
I quit half ways through the summer since it was getting hot out - but now I have a wonderfully conditioned univeristy gym to take advantage of, so I'm using it.
I upped my rountine, this is what Im following - 4 days a week, I do about 15 minutes of walking on the treadmill, 15 minutes of jogging on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the ski machine ( which is quite intense, I love it) and another 10 to 15 minutes of streching/ abs/ jumping rope.. whatever I feel like.
do you all think 4 days is enough for me to keep loosing weight? Ive been doing this for the past 2 weeks and havent really weighed in yet - will do that tommorow morning.
I felt really guilty today when I didnt go... anyways, my question is, 4, or 5 days? Im looking to loose about 1 - 2 lbs a week.

How long have you been at 110 for? You may want to consider weight training. This had the advantage of raising your metabolism. Tommorow's weigh-in should give you a better indication of where you stand.
Good job on the progress so far!
