Ellipticals are a gift from God! They work wonders! :D I had mine from Christmas until May before I managed to, erm, break it (this was a low-end, low price elliptical trainer). In that time I lost around 15 pounds burning about 500 calories per day. Not too shabby! And if you put your elliptical in front of the TV, the time just flies by! :D

After reading about how many POUNDS of sugar we (well, the average 'American') consume per year, I've started cutting back on sugars as well. My new health kick has sort of turned into a hobby! :) It takes a while to acquire a taste for some of the healthier foods, but it is possible. I never imagined myself preferring whole grain breads over white, or being able to stomach pop that contains aspartame, but I do! I can only take so much regular pop now because it is just too sweet and.. like.. syrup-y. :S

Wow, that's super awesome Kari. I'm so proud of you! I've lost 5 lbs in the last two weeks, and my size 42 pants which were on the verge of giving up now fit comfortably again! So like you, I'm going to go all-the-way! You are awesome. You can do it. Sometimes chronic diseases help us put things into perspective and live much healthier lives. I'm very happy for you.
