.....Except if you read the post, I DID do workouts and exercises; though apparently not the right ones for my needs - but this post makes it sound like I did nothing at all and hoped for results.. But thanks. That's totally encouraging and makes me feel great. :I Anyway, to everyone else - thanks! I didn't realize that…

Hmm, it sounds like everyone seems to agree. Cardio is not the way to go for me. Shame, since I found it really fun! But okay, more weight training. Can anyone suggest some good exercises I can do, perhaps? (You can suggest machines even, and if my fitness center has it, I'll look into it). Please keep in mind that I'm…

@hbarnstein: I've been exercising for a little over a month (I did say that somewhere in my post..) and I try to consume about 1200 calories a day. Sometimes I may go a bit over that, but definitely nothing more than 1400 a day - and I don't go over very often. (I also drink 6 glasses of water or more a day).…
