    Thank you all so much. As far as how I am doing it, I really don't know why it's worked so well so fast. I have been eating at least 1200 calories a day, but average 1300-1400 a day. I do not eat back any of my exercise calories. I mix up my exercise a lot....I use a stationary bike, Walk Away the Pounds dvd's, Zumba on the Wii, the Wii Fit step, and a variety of other DVD's.

    Just for the record, I have NOT done anything unhealthy---No pills or anything. I have just been really careful about my calorie intake and my sodium intake and made sure that I exercise at least an hour a day six times a week. I usually try to get in 2 hours whenever I can.

    I drink nothing but water...at least 10-12 glasses a day. I have a water bottle that I measured and know how much it holds. I make sure I have it with me at all times and drink water all day long.

    (By the way, if you peek at my food diary, the last 3 days have been kind of messed up for me. We had a terrible ice storm and have not had electricity for the last 3 days. If you would like to see what a typical, real day for me is, please go back to before Tuesday.)

    Yeah - it rained here and I was sort of hurting because of the doctor. So I didn't exercise - and I feel so horrid. I'm trying to eat 1,200 atleast but I'm struggling. - I always have this problem dieting, I eat too little and don't work out enough.

    Congrats, you are an inspiration. Can I ask your stats? I'm 5'10", started at 220and three weeks after starting MFP, I'm down 15 pounds. Was preparing myself for a rapidslow down, but maybe that isn't a necessity just yet?

    I to am striving for 1200 calories a day, but usually end up between that and 1300. Lots of water and exercise, usually between two and two and a half hours.

    Keep up the good work !
