    That's a amazing loss! Way to go! :)
    It's been eleven days that I have been eating right and exercising daily but I haven't lost even one pound. Very discouraging. :(

    Can you give me any pointers?

    Don't think you need the asterisks.

    The code is, IIRC, [ img] image path/filename.ext [ /img]

    Don't put space between the [ and the word img or /img.

    It's like the HTML tag <img>image path/filename.ext</img>, but MyFitnessPal uses [ and ] and not < or >.

    Good to see your achievements, by the way!

    Y'all are making me smile :happy: This has been quite a journey. Still have 28 more pounds to my goal of 135. However, I am happy that I am making progress. And, yes, I think I look good right now (with clothes on....working on the with clothes off part). As for how I am doing it, total dedication and knowing that this (exercise and diet) is one of the only things I can control in my life right now. My hasband and I are separated (he is planning to divorce) so I am doing this for me. I want to be HOT! (with clothes and without :blushing: )

    Wow. Congrats! Especially since I started on 3/22 at 201 and am only down to 187.
    What is your workout schedule?

    Great job!

    Great job!

    I usually workout 5 (maybe 6 days) a week. Cardio every day (30-60 min), strength training 2x/wk. My net calories usually run about 800/day. I vary my cardio almost everyday (swimming, treadmill, eliptical, stairmaster). I try to keep my body guessing what is next.

    Can I ask what your tpical Strength Training Routine is? I'm trying out a few different things, but can't seem to find my "sync"

    I'm a simple girl on this one. I use the machines mostly. I try to hit at least 1-2 machines for each muscle group (biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, back, abs, glutes, and legs). I do quite a bit more ab work most days (even on cardio days). I don't lift too heavy. Biceps 20-25lbs, triceps 20lbs, shoulders 20-45lbs, chest 30-35lbs, legs 50-70lbs (depends on the machine), squats 90lbs, back extensions 100lbs, abs on the machine 50-70lbs (depends on machine). I also do abs on the floor w/a weight ball (balancing on butt, knees bent, feet paralel to the floor, twist at the waist w/6-8lb ball and touch floor on each side) as well as sit ups. I do 12-15 reps of each, usually 2 sets, sometimes more...
    Hope this helps
