    I eat 1300 calories a day. I started out doing 15 min. a day on the elliptical adding as I could. I now do 120 min. a day. I haven't missed a single day since Sept. 1!!! I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred from Jan. 1 to Jan 30. I still do it, just not every day. I walk/jog when I can. I have lost 74 lbs since last April. Most of the weight (61 lbs.) when I started using the elliptical on Sept. 1. Basically, I got off my butt and started making healthier food choices. I log religiously, everything I eat good or bad. I stopped drinking Coke and Dr Peppers. I occasionally have a Dr Pepper 10 if I really have a craving. For anyone wondering, I am 5' 5".

    you are such an inspiration

    There have been so many questions concerning my 7 month progress report that I thought I would answer some here. I eat 1300 calories a day. I started out doing 15 min. a day on the elliptical adding as I could. I now do 120 min. a day. I haven't missed a single day since Sept. 1!!! I have a Pro Form Elliptical FX 5 in my home. I just put on Netflix or a movie and go. I currently do 120 min. at a resistance of 4, 5, and then 6. RPM 40 or higher. I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred from Jan. 1 to Jan 30. I still do it, just not every day. I walk/jog when I can. I have lost 74 lbs since last April. Most of the weight (61 lbs.) when I started using the elliptical on Sept. 1. Basically, I got off my butt and started making healthier food choices. I log religiously, everything I eat good or bad. I stopped drinking Coke and Dr Peppers. I occasionally have a Dr Pepper 10 if I really have a craving. When I started at 225, my BMI was 37.4, which is considered obese! Now, at 151, BMI is at 25.1, still considered overweight for my height of 5'5". At 148, I will be in normal, or healthy BMI range. I'm shooting for a final goal of 135 by Summer.

    I have seen women lying about their ages to make themselves look younger...

    You are doing it wrong...

    25 year olds aren't suppose to say they are 37

    You look great! You are such an inspiration! I just started about 2 weeks ago. I've lost 4 lbs and want to lose another 45-50. It's so good to see people on the other end of the journey and see their success!
