I lost 12 pounds since starting SBD in July. (I'm on Week 23.) So, it's slowly but surely for me. I haven't gained anything back again so that's encouraging.

I have 25 more pounds to lose to reach my goal and look forward to getting there in 2007. :)

Hopefully I'll pump up my exercise routine by getting a treadmill or something along those lines and that would speed up my progress.

Right now I use a mini-trampoline for aerobic exercise but don't use it every day or as much as I should.

Slow is best, especially for keeping it off. You're doing great!!! Additional regular exercise should definitely help in creating a leaner look. Did you know that 1 pound of fat actually takes up more space than 1 pound of muscle? So even if you only replace fat with muscle and don't lose weight, you'll look leaner and your clothes will fit better. How's that for inspiration??!! :-)

Hi there,
Just a thought -- try out Craigslist for your city, or stop at some garage sales in your neighborhood on a Friday or Saturday -- that's where you can get the BEST deals on exercise equipment. So many people buy the stuff new and then stick it in a closet, only later to post it online or throw it in a garage sale for just a few bucks! (Been there, done that!) :-P
Good luck to you!

It's a thought. I don't know if people throw out the expensive, really good stuff, but it's possible.

Thanks for the suggestion and Happy New Year!
