    Wow you look freaking amazing! Your stats are quite similar to mine, starting weight of 170, I've never been below 140 but I kept that steady for years so will be happy to get back to that weight! I'm so glad you posted as I've never seen a success story similar to my own starting/goal!! Do you mind sharing what exercise/lifting routines you do?

    Thanks so much! :happy: And wouldn't mind at all. :) I do cardio every day at the gym, and if I'm not feeling up to cardio, I will STILL do at least 10-20 minutes. Usually I do around 30 minutes unless I am having an only cardio day, then I will do an hour.. and thats on the stairmaster and/or elliptical. I work my legs and bum once or twice a week, doing squats on the squat rack. I do curtsey lunges (which is a GREAT *kitten* workout, look it up on youtube!) I also do the other leg machines that are at the gym. As for arms, I usually work them once a week, working biceps and triceps as well as other machine arm workouts.. (it's hard for me to explain unless I am showing you.) Then mostly every day I work my abs, do at least 5-10 minutes of ab workouts.

    I really hope that helps. Like I said, it's kind of hard for me to explain on here. You can add me if you want and we can talk more about it. :)

    Congratulations friend! You look great! I'm 5'6" too and my goal weight is between 135 and 140. I'm 6-10 lbs away (depending on which day/tom I weigh). What kind of calorie goal are you at now?

    Thank you so very much! :happy: I am currently eating around 1,000-1,200 calories. I diet during the weekdays and then weekends I will up my calories to around 1,500 or so. It works for me! :)

    Good luck on reaching your goal weight!!
