    I'm in! I started going to the gym (again) on the 12th of September. I do 40 minutes of cardio and 1 hour of strength training 4-5x a week (alternating upper and lower body). I also changed my hflc way of eating to just counting calories (but eating healthy, whole foods while still somewhat watching carbs). I'm trying to keep to 1100 calories/day for the first few weeks, then stay at around 1200. I can't believe I've lost 13 pounds so far. On Jan 1 of this year I quit smoking (cold turkey) after 29 years - and then put on 38 pounds. Now I'm ready to get that off plus 50 more!

    So far my favorite fall exercise is the treadmill - which I have always hated! My first week at the gym (3 weeks ago) I would walk for 10 minutes at 3mph and want to die. By the end of that week I could do 20 minutes. Then 30 minutes the following week and now I'm up to 40 minutes on the treadmill! My goal is 60 minutes. (I tried breaking up my cardio with other machines, but I don't like anything else yet - maybe one day).

    Barely made 5 lbs.....I am hoping this is due to nearing my goal weight and I think I may have to get used to a pound a week if I'm lucky for next month...but a loss is a loss I guess so I should be happy but my goal had been 149 which did not happen.
