Success stories are allways a moral booster for people, it say's that it can be done. Now i dont want to come off sounding mean but after reading alot of these posts people arent pushing themselves hard enough, 20 to 30 min of cycling two to three times a week is hardly enough. walking that amount of time is NOT going to give you the results you desire either . I am 5' 11" i weigh 158 pounds, I eat whatever whenever and however much i want. and dont worry about my weight. 16 months ago my weight was 298lbs!!. I took no drugs and didnt change my eating habbits untill my body demanded. And i spent a total of 400 dollars if that. My secret? i dragged my fat butt down to garts sports and got a bench press (NOT A MACHINE!) with the leg extension and the curl bar and extension it came with 300lbs of free weights, that wasnt enough when i started squating so i had to get more.Then after being sick and tired of the way i looked and felt i busted my !@# every other day one and a half to two hours a day, high reps and low weights till exaustion untill conditoned then i moved up to higher weights lower reps. NOTHEING ELSE WILL GET YOU THIS PHYSICALLY FIT AND LOOKING BETTER FASTER THAN FREE WEIGHT LIFTEING, not running, cycleing,sit ups,tread mills, crunches,etc. And in four to five weeks you will see and feel drastic results in strenght ,composure ,and how you feel about yourself, Guaranteed , i promiss. At first i gaind a few pounds and started to worry but what i didnt know at that time is that extra weight was new muscle i was building and it was eating all the callories and fat in my body and i was turning into a fat burning furnass . Anybody can do it at any age man or woman disabled or not, like nike says JUST DO IT!! BYE

Do you really think free weights are better than natulis (sp?) machines? I do 30 min bike then 15 min machines alternating between upper and lower body.
What time of day do you work out? How long into your routine did you notice a weight loss? Did you alternate the parts of your body daily as I've heard you are supposed to?
I took 3 bottles of CortiSlim and CLA and did not lose one pound (if I did, it came right back). I had corresponded with someone at CortiSlim and in the last email they told me they were going to send me 3 more CS and a starch blocker. Haven't seen it or heard from them since. I always worried that if I lost weight on a pill that I would always have to take it to keep the weight off - just like Atkins. My cousin lost weight on Atkins and gained it all back plus when she started eating carbs again!

I admire you enthusiam Shawn. Do you do any sort of cardio? I've read that while muscle is the "furnace" that burns fat, cardiovascular exercise optimally expedites the process of fat metabolism. Heck I just use a set of 3 and 5 pound dumbbells, and you should feel my rock solid arms back and shoulders. I use floor exercises and my own body for resistance when doing lower-body. This, with 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 times weekly keeps me feeling like a tiger *grin* I realize as my fitness improves (still have some fluff along with the buff), I'll likely need to use heavier weights and also start using weights in a structured lower-body workout. To date I'm rid of 95 pounds... starting June 1, 2003. Fifty to go... wish me luck! - enjoi
