    I would change your routine around. I'm not here that long, but every time I go to the gym I use different target spots to be different. I think it helps in weight loss. :)

    I'm like you. The daily workout comes easy, but the food part is a struggle. I realize that I can't exercise enough to offset eating with abandon. This site will keep you 'honest' on calories and also open your eyes to how many calories there are in some stuff you assumed wasn't high cal. Everyday you can burn more than you take in is a victory, but allow yourself some 'one step back' days and don't beat yourself up over them.

    Lift heavy weight! You can't tone muscle, either you grow it or you don't. Doing high reps of light weight is not a good use of your tome! Congrats on the weight loss, you're doing awesome, so keep it up!

    Muscle is really hard to build. The average person can only gain 2-5 lbs of muscle per year. However that little bit of added muscle will help burn those extra calories.
