    I have been using Fitness pal since November 14 from the advice of a friend. I started losing weight on November 14th and have never felt better. To date I have lost 68 pounds with my initial goin to 88 pounds. I have now set a goal to lose 100 by July 4th. This site has been great for someone who has never posted or blogged anything. My question is Cardio vs. Strenght training. I have only done cardio up to this point.

    @mpmartin92 - You need to incorporate some form of weight training in your regimen. Not to enter a Mr. America contest. Muscle burns fat and muscle gives you definition. Congrats on what you have done so far. Wow!

    Thanks! My goal has always been to get under 300 pounds and I can see the finish line. I just want to make sure I am doing everything right and losing the most possible weight I can. I have a torn achilles heel and have been limited since january to just the excercise bike, of which I am very burned out on. I feel i could lose more and keep my motivation, but not being able to use the treadmill or eliptical has been a set back. I have thought to visit a doctor to make sure i am doing everything right, but thought I would turn to this site first. I really Appreciat the feed back...
