Its success stories like yours that give others that extra push towards healthy living. You can eat healthy and exercise, but you still have to WANT to do it. Portion control, avoiding sweets and alcohol you learn while on the journey. Having that dream of being thin and getting off the rack clothes is sure hard to do these days.
Every time I turn on the TV or go into the local shop, all I get to see is sweets and chocolate products. Real tough for those like us on a diet or trying to stay on a diet.
The additional benefit will be a healthier life when you get older. Fat and old do not mix very well. ;)

I still haven't tried Wii Fit. I want to buy it for my niece so I can try it, but I can't find it anywhere.

It's $120 so it's going to be a Christmas gift for my niece and her brother to share. Depending on how the economy is and how much/little my Christmas bonus is, I might be asking my brother to chip in and we'll put both of our names on the card.
I can wait a few months before I panic and have to pay extra to have one shipped.
It also depends on how good Guitar Hero World Tour is, since they have RB for the Wii I might just get them the GHWT (guitar only bundle) for the Wii instead.
Jamming for a couple of hours should burn as many calories as doing Yoga for 10 minutes.

I'm still on Induction and I have lost another Stone = 14lbs. :woot
I have to wear a waist slimmer tube thingy to keep the excess skin from grossing me out every morning, but its worth it! Stomach crunches and push-ups are a real PITA - but its working.
I have upped the distance daily from 3 miles to 4.8/5 miles a day and started jogging instead of walking.
As most of my American cousins will be kinda fat from the holidays turkey- its time to diet now before breaking that New Year Resolution!!!
I cannot wait to claim that $20!!!! :applaud:

Out of everything else you've said I think this right here is the best news. Losing the weight is one thing - being able to jog now is the real sign of increased health. I've known so many people who lost a bunch of weight and never were able to resume real exercise because of how they did it. Just be really careful with the jogging to gradually build up the distances from 1 mile at the most and never increase it more than 10% in a week. Your knees, ankles, and shins have to build up a tolerance for the pounding.
