    I know where you're coming from, it's hard to keep the weight off, especially during holdiay season.... been there done that.

    Keep it up.

    Awww thank you everybody, you all just made my day :-)

    To answer questions about how I lost...very strict calorie counting via biggestloserclub.com. Never did strength training (I know, bad). I would walk 5 miles a couple times a week. I would use my gazelle several times a week (20-45 min). I work retail so it's up, down, walking around constantly on your feet. And just stuck with it...it took me about 1.5 yrs to lose it all with an average of only 4-6 lbs lost per month.

    I know people say it a lot, but if I can do it...TRUST ME, anybody can!! Thanks for the support everybody <3

    I just googled gazelle, its a glider/elliptical...I did my elliptical today 50mins, 560 calories burned, 97 carbs burned...it was a tough workout....will alternate between running on treadmill and elliptical 5-6 days a week 50-60mins.....Thanks for the ambition that I needed, this winter has been a tough one and its hard getting the energy on a daily basis to get the workouts in...without the cardio I only maintain on MFP,so its important for me to do both ...How much cardio are other people doing along with MFP? do you find that if you don't do cardio that you don't lose?

    I call the gazelle a "poor girl's elliptical" lol....it only costs a couple hundred dollars and was still a good workout. Great for people who don't have tons of free time for the gym and who don't want to dish out $1000 for an elliptical. Plus I did have knee problems (due mostly to my weight) and it was great because it was lower impact.

    I still have him, doesn't get used much now that I jog on the treadmill....can't part with it though since it helped me out so much lol ;-)

    Only 4-6 pounds a month people! Pay attention! That's dedication. Slow permanent results.
