Kate's Goals
I'd like to drop at least 15 lbs by May, if possible. I was about 160 lbs (I don't weigh myself and don't own a scale) at the middle of January. I think I've lost about 5 lbs thus far with 1 day of running/walking a week (my boyfriend said that it looked liked I had lost some weight). I'm trying to do Pilates, but I barely have any time with my schedule as it is.
I've changed my diet to include more protein and less "empty carbohydrates". I've completely eliminated dairy in my diet, and I think it has also contributed to my weight loss as well. Here's my before pic:

15# by that time frame should be attainable. Especially if you shoot for the 2 lbs per week. Have you found out what your suggested caloric intake should be

take away around 360-400 calories per day to loose around a lb of fat per week.

the more lean muscle mass you have the faster your metabolism would be. I would reduce your your caloric intake but make sure your eating a good balance. If i recall correctly your a culinary student so that shouldn't be to hard for you.
I would start off doing 3 days of weight lifting and 2 days of running, a week for starters.

The vital equipment I think is a theraband or similar tubint, a medicine ball, and a small set of weights maybe 8 lbs or so. If you want you can also get a couple jugs which you would hold water in and fill it with sand for the time being.

Not a problem, I'm working on getting images licensed so I can create a directory of exercises.

Kate, just take a little time a day (weather permitting) and walk/jog around your area! Those hills are killer. I bet 30mins a day would be more than enough cardio.
