I lost in about 20 pound chunks. I have reached my stable weight--granted I would love to lose between 5-10 pounds. I have found that I would really have to alter my diet or work-out twice a day. I like alcohol too much for the former, and I like goofing off as far as the latter is concerned. Good work, though. It is quite rewarding to know you have done this yourself.

I do enjoy alcohol myself and have to keep that in moderation (to the best of my ability) to be able to get down to to 155 :-) Brewers Art doesn't help at all :-) Thanks again. G Thanks Jason.

I hope it helps, although the more I excersize now the more I really see the reality of losing weight really comes down to caloric intake vs what you burn. I still havent gotten past the 10 pound mark. Of course I just got back from a vacation where I didnt exactly stick to any kind of healthy diet. That said, the excersize routine is great, its healthy and it definitely will assist in losing the weight. I am going 3-4 times a week still. Now though to hit my ideal weight of 155-158 I am going to have to watch the alcohol intake and diet a bit closer. Good luck with everything! Hi Shannon - thanks for the note.
