Hi, I was struggling with this issue myself. In 2011, I lost about 40 lbs total, from 170 to a little less than 130 lb at one point. A good diet and balanced fitness kept me there for the next year.

I started out training to run (8 weeks to 5k) but injured my knee and then hip flexor. So I am using the eliptical up to 60 minutes per workout. I do enjoy it, esp with my playlist going.

Yes, that would be me too. I started at 166 lbs and would love to go to 130 lbs. I have lost 6 lbs in 6 weeks through exercise and diet and hope to keep that up for awhile.
