I'm also trying to lose weight, not just for my health but for mental & emotional states.
I've been running 45 minutes about 3 times a week & I do about 15-20 minutes of lifting weights (usually for my arms & legs) each day that I run. I've been counting calories (I went to see a dietician & that is how she recommended I watch what I eat) & trying not to eat more than 1500 calories a day. The hardest part is giving up a lot of "bad for you drinks" like my Cafe Mocha!
