    Congratulations!
    I am 5'4 and started at 217 the 3rd weekend of May. I p[lateaued HARD after 3 weeks and have just finally broken into Onederland. The think I have noticed is the significiant changes in my physique. While I have only lost 17 lbs, I have dropped 2 sizes, went from a 38DD to a 34C, lost 3" from waist, 3.5 from hips, and 2" from my thighs. I am taking a low carb apporach so don't watch calories so much. I also try to keep some of the cholesterol down by choosing some vegetarian meat substitutions from Morningstar.
    I was noticing you mention having trouble with losing the mid section and that your workouts aren't much inclusive of weight lifting... might I suggest changing it up some and adding in some light weights to work those areas you want to tone? It has worked wonders for me and only takes a few extra minutes....

    We are right around the same! I started MFP last June at 216 and am now 175! I actually got down to 155 in December but have put back on 20 lbs! :( That's ok - I'm back on it and am trying to focus on how far I've come and not how far I have left to go or how close I was and let it go!! Good luck and great progress so far!!:happy:

    You must be pretty tall. I started at 212.6 & I am 165 right now, went from a size 18/20 down to a 10 but I am only 5'2...It is totally an amazing feeling. I still have about 29 lbs to go and then I am going to reassess my goals but I also haven't been pushing myself as hard, I have been so lazy. I know what to do, I just got to do it!

    Congrats to you!

    Actually I'm only 5' 3". :smile:
