    Awesome job!!

    (Future, no spaces in the brackets for the img tags. Also a / in the 2nd tag. so you'd do img ADDRESS /img with brackets and no spaces. Apparently it doesn't matter since the link is to page and not an img file and I can't find out how to get an img file from flickr.)

    This link won't give you an img. I tried my best to modify it to work but it is link to a webpage and not an img file. I recommend photobucket for image files.

    hi if u can give me some tips about diet..

    What I think helped me out the most in my start of my diet, is that I worked out straight for 60 days straight. Even if it was 25 minutes, I would do something everyday. I only started to do 5 workouts a week on my 3rd month. Right now I stay at about 5 workouts a week. At least 35 minutes per workout.

    As far as diet, I stay under 1400 everyday, but initially I started under 1800 calories, because I was not used to it. But you get used to it. I also get a lot of tips from www.hungry-girl.com for products and recipes that are fast and easy. And don't forget plenty of fruits, veggies and water!

    Also, my sister has been along with me for the ride. She herself has lost over 40 lbs so it helps to have someone there to motivate you as well. :)
