It's amazing what difference adding regular exercise can do for weight reduction and allowing increased caloric intake.

    Must agree ~ had a TV installed in front of my elliptical last week & i've worked out 6 out of 7 days & feel great!!! I'm noticing how much "credit in calories" exercise allows each day!! :~))) it ends up being the equivalent of a glass of wine (or two:~)))

    Thanks everyone.
    It is crazy when you really keep track (even if not perfect), how many calories add up with a simple meal. Even a "healthy meal"

    It's amazing with the elliptical.
    I can easily recall just about 2 months ago...I could only do maybe 15-20 minutes on the lowest resistance. Now, I can easily do a 1/2 hour about at resistance 7, and could easily go longer if I had the time.

    Feels good to be able to exercise for longer periods of time. Although I am sure some of my supplements are helping with that as well.
