Introduction and Goals

I need to lose weight, a lot of weight. I am a very fat person.  I suppose I should post the obligatory stats: 5'4 and 336.4 lbs.

My humiliating numbers are now posted for the world to see. 

Goals: Since I need to start somewhere.

1. Increase water consumption
2. Stay within 1500 calories- doctor's orders, so please don't tell me I am not eating enough.
3. Walk the dachshunds for 20 min.
4. Lose 15 pounds by the time school starts on August 30th

Reasons:

1. My cracked ribs are taking way to long to heal.
2. I have energy now that I am on B12 shots, so I don't have that health reason any longer.
3. I am going to China next July and I sure as hell don't want to be this weight on a 20 hour plane ride (each way).
