Topic: RE: 8/16ers - 40 wk. check in
Hi 8/16ers.
I'm down 88 pounds and am exercising like crazy. I've lost 57.5 inches already and have gone from a size 30 to a size 18. Pretty cool. While I don't lose as quickly as some of the other losers on this site, I tend to go slow and steady with a 1-2 pound loss per week.

Topic: RE: Exercise: How much?
Hi Kathryn:
I also exercise an hour a day 6 days a week alternating circuit training/weights with walks on the treadmill. I've lost 88 pounds since August 16 of last year and am losing it slower and slower. BUT- have you measured your inches lost yet? I have lost 57.5 inches and have gone down from a size 30 to a size 18W! BTW congrats on breaking the century mark. I find I feel much better after I exercise hard. I feel like a million bucks.
To answer your query, I'd say that more exercise means more calories burned. And in order to lose weight you have to burn more than you lose. So I wouldn't suggest dropping down on the exercise. Mini plateaus while hard to explain and depressing when they happen. But they are just that. Plateaus.

Topic: RE: another HAIR question
Hi Lisa... personally I have not lost really any hair other than the normal daily amount... but I take a vitamin that has biotin in it and didnt know that till I really read the label and I have not had any thinning at all....
Good luck... from what I read your body will need to adjust.... but get in the protein....
