I'll jump in here. I've been doing the dieting/ eating correctly, working out for 5 weeks. Start weight was 185.5, goal weight is 165. I'm at 174 today. I went from no work out at all to bicycling every other day. Took sweets ( Chocolate)completely out of my diet. Dropped to ~1200-1400 calories a day. Still fighting the breads. Next goal is to bicycle up Badger Mountain road non stop by 5-1-14. It's a 5 mile grueling up hill ride.
