Cool... I didn't buy into the whole south beach or atkins craze either, but I did cut alot of the excess carbs out of my diet when I first started to get on track. Just switching from regular to diet soda, cutting back on my junk food intake, and making stir fry without rice for a few months helped me go from 280 down to 220. I've put about 15 pounds back on since then, but I was very bad this christmas and I havn't been active. Once it warms up a bit and I can get back on my bike, I hope to get down to 200 over the summer. I've got a goal to ride 2000 miles this year... so long as I don't hurt myself like last year, I should be able to do it easily.

Do you exercise (aside from the belly dancing) or do you mostly diet? I find it hard to diet properly when I'm really active, as I need the carbs and protein to get the energy needed to ride the long distance rides. Heh... in fact, my main justification for doing those big rides the first year I started was that it was the first time in history I had ever heard it was a GOOD thing to eat a Twinky ;)

I walk the dog 2 miles about 3-4 times a week, depending on the weather. Right now, it's a little too unpleasant for both of us (I had his hair cut short when it looked like it was becoming Spring). When I do not go outside for more than short trips, like now, I work out in my apartment. I have bellydancing-specific workouts and some general ones. I used to have a mini-stair stepper, but after 3.5 years, I've finally worn it out. I am okay with this, as it completely justified its price tag (http://www.kmart.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=108223&Ne=1351&N=1352&categoryId=1352&pCategoryId=1351&gpCategoryId=1345&sfp=Sports_3links_steppers). For the time being, I'll go back to my balance ball workout for bad weather days.

ooh, hey! I have one of those yoga balls, but I don't really do much with it but some light back stretches. When I aggrivated a pulled muscle in my back last year and couldn't ride for a month, I got one of those to try out. What can you don on those besides the back/belly stretches? There is one thing I found that is like a combination inverted crunch and pushup that's alot of fun, but that's about it...

In addition to that, I have an elliptical, and I was just given an exercise bike... the problem is finding the time and energy to get on them ;) My boss Debbie also gave me a membership to the Y, paid through July, before she retired. I'm going to new member orientation this week, I hope to get motivated there as well.

Now if I could just lay off the ice cream and pasta ;)
