    Anybody have experience or recommendation on Tabata

    It is very difficult to do that ratio. 2:1 work:rest took time for me to build up too. Honestly it can work with any exercise.

    I used Tabata with jump rope.

    I'm a little late to the game but, I'd like to join. I recently had knee surgery and I'm finally able to exercise (lightly) after being pretty immobile for 4 mo. I'm at my all time highest weight of 197. I fee the 200's and don't want to let tat creep up on me. I've got the motivation and could use the support! :)

    I'm in! I lost 30 pounds 2 years ago but sadly gained it all back. I again started the year at my highest (without being preggo) at 178lbs. Today I am at 174.4lbs and am keeping the calories at or below 1200. Just walking now but plan to get back to running.

    I'm in for this. I'm also in a 10 pounds by the end of January.

    I'm doing Atkins induction right now, on my 5th day. I've lost 5.5 pounds. I'm sure it is mostly water, but I'm also burning off 500 calories a day through exercise so I'm sure there has to be some fat loss also.

    I'm on 1200 a day, and keep the carbs very low - less than 20 total each day.

    I don't have a goal weight as much as a goal size. Right now I'm a size 14, and I would love to be a size 10 by the first week of April (when I have to have my first fitting for a wedding gown I bought and then stupidly gained 2 whole dress sizes!!!)
    Anyone feel free to add me!

    How is everyone doing with their goal? I am already down 5 pounds in the 10 days since I started using MFP. I have logged in and kept up with every single thing I eat for 10 days. I still have 85 pounds to lose, but only 15 by March first. I have now lost 22 pounds since the end of October. When you are as heavy as I am, people its hard for others to notice the loss, but someone did today. It felt great!

    I would love to join in. I started working out and eating better last Monday. So far I am doing good. I went to the gym 5 times since. I'm lucky to have a small gym in my building that has an elptical, bike, and treadmill so I go for about 39 minutes every other day.

    Losing 20 pounds by February would be great. I'm at my highest weight, 230 and I'm 5'8. My goal is to get down to 180 by November. If anyone would like to be friends we can motivate each other daily so we hit our goal : )

    I'm in! I could definitely use some encouragement. Have 70 lbs to get rid of this year. 20 lbs would be a great start.
