    Great job! It's taken me a long time to lose my weight (partially because of having kids), but I know it'll be off for good!

    Yesterday was tough, but I'm back on the bandwagon today. Pressing onward (and downward).

    Man, Bob and Jillian have a way of kicking my butt! I love Cardio Max the most out of all of my Biggest Loser DVD's.

    I'm now at 189 lbs.... down 55 from my 244, and 20 lbs to go. I've lost 4 lbs in the last 10 days, putting me just 7 lbs away from getting back to my 62lbs loss that I attained in the early winter. Then... just 13 lbs after that to 169 lbs....

    Oh my word, I can't believe how good the Weight Watchers Creamy Chocolate Smoothie Drink mix is!

    8 oz of milk, packet of mix, 1 banana, 5 cubes of ice... mix it up in a blender, finely. Wow!

    You are making good progress. You are changing your lifestyle. We all have times where things like exercise and eating right doesn;t fit in with it. The important thing is to reign in the horses and get back on the wagon ASAP. WInter is your season but you made improvement from one winter to the next and next winter will be better.

    Best wishes to you

    slow and steady wins the race, it also help keep up your endurance!!!

    I started to lose weight last April. My tools were simple. I walked over a mile a day and stopped eating white foods (refined flour, sugar, rice) My heaviest weight was 308 lbs. Between last April and this past January I lost forty pounds. In January I joined a gym and have continued to lose weight. More importantly I am getting a better body self image. I have added muscle mass and increased my strength. I want to go down to 180 pounds eventually. My current weight is 258 pounds.

    Sharl, you are free to eat those calories, and you'll still lose according to plan. If you choose not to lose, then you wlll lose a little faster, but be careful, you'll need to eat at least 1200 calories a day, or you could put your body into "starvation mode" where it holds onto your weight even though you're exercising... It usually puts a little warning at the bottom of your day (food tab) if you're getting too low. I usually try to exercise hard... (600 - 1000 extra calories per day) eat most of those back, but save about 300 calories per day which helps me lost just a little faster than the "plan" me and the computer came up with. Hope that helps. - Scott
