I don't think your going to get much of a response as this site does not promote "fast" weight loss.  Use the tools and take it one day at a time.  It'll come, maybe not as fast as you want but it will come.

Don't forget even if you fall short a few hundred calories today you can add a couple hundred tomorrow.  It keeps the body guessing.  Just don't sustain *900 calories for a few days.  Sometimes you don't feel like eating, that's that.  Make it up tomorrow by eating 1400 instead of 1200 and 1300 the next day.

Thank you tcole03, I wanted to say it but didn't want to come off offensive.  I used to go to Sav-A-Lot in the middle of Hartford here and noone has ever bothered me.  My philosophy is if you act scared, they gonna scare you!

Sponsorship, yes its probably what keeps CC free.  These ads are kinda an oxymoron, CC promotes healthy eating and steady weight loss and the adds suggest not changing anything and lose weight rapidly.  There are so many other things they can advertise, maybe not. 

I'm not going through what you are, but you'll be amazed at how easy the elliptical is on the joints.  I have incredibly bad knees when I exercise, dr said it might be from platform diving when I was younger.  I think its because I fell on my knees when I was a teenager and was hemmed up for weeks.  Trade the treadmill for an elliptical or find someone that has one you can try.

I would go with the next two, however, as I mentioned in a couple other posts, Chalean, who leads Turbo Jam has a new exercise set called Chalean extreme.  Go to the Beachbody site.  Its seems to be a beginner version of P90x and looks great.  I am too going to do Turbo Jam more for the cardio, but Chalean Extreme is on my list for next to do.

Superm, if you are thinking P90x for the future, try Chalean extreme.  Same idea, done by turbo jam chick.

I just ordered turbo jam.  I really want Chalean Extreme though.  But I thought I would start with Turbo Jam.  I should get mine in the next week.  Hey lets start a group!

By the way Chalean is the one who does Turbo Jam and now has like a womans version of P90x

Two pound loss a week!  Take it and run, it will diminish before you know it and you'll be struggling for a point something eventually.  Congratulations!

Interesting I came out to be balanced.  And in fact I was aiming for a 40-30-30 diet.  I am pretty comfortable there and don't feel deprived.  Thanks for all of that wonderful info.  By the way kindal, I would go back and reanswer.  I had to and be completely honest and visually see what I do, like the buffet question or breakfast question.  If not try one of those tests.  The niacin one scares me though.

I worked at a country club that always had tongue for lunch.  The chef would be out on the table and cut it up as members went to it.  No way, I say.

Anyways, I did a somewhat modified version of South Beach last week.  I did good and was down 3 by friday morning, after starting monday.  Then Friday came and I drank, light beers, I made sure that during the day I ate real well but light.  Saturday was optimistic, I weighed in .4 higher.  Then Saturday Night came, but I let too lose Saturday and ate some carbs as well as drinking my light beers again.  Yesterday, I didn't eat much, no carbs, well the ones I can avoid at least, today the scale was nasty to me.  So here I go agian.  No breaks this time.  I didn't want to drink this weekend anyways, I'm tired of feeling like crap.  I'm still feeling like dung from Saturday so today will probably be a light activity if any today.

What ever happened to being young and being able to recover quick.  I miss those days!

Yeah, that may be a little hard.  Thats 2.31 pounds per week for 16 weeks.  Aim for instead maybe 20 pounds and do some serious weights which may counter act the scale but you will lose many inches and still be able to fit what you wanted to, of course thats if that was your goal. At my weight now, I am a size bigger than when I was at this same weight last year because I was exercising and doing weights all the time.

You may want to try South Beach instead.  It allows milk and some complex carbs with the same results.

Benefit:  your HEART.  If you do cardio right and stay within 55-65% of you max heart rate it is effective for weight loss.  Strength training is good to build muscle and you need muscle to burn fat. 

Oh yeah huge difference, the second picture the bathing suit looks alot better!  Keepup the good work.
