I really don't like exercise so what I do is fairly lenient compared to most -- I do ab workouts and a little bit of dumbbells, then 35-40 mins on the treadmill of incline power walking.

But the diet is where we made the huge change. Very low processed sugar, gluten free, low carbs, no liquid calories, no snacking -- it's been a big change. Just lots of meat and veggies, a bit of fruit and low carb items sprinkled in.

Anyways, that's my story for now. When we started I wanted to be 199 by the summer, now I'm thinking I might get there by the end of March. Just really happy with how things have gone!

Wish I hadn't donated all my smaller clothes away though, things are starting to get a bit expensive.

Anyways, my personal mantra I use to keep motivated is as simple as it gets -- only two words that are the only two ways to lose weight and get / stay healthy: "Discipline" and "Sweat" -- and when it comes to resisting temptation of junk food, one thing to keep in mind: "Nothing I haven't had before" -- these mentalities have helped me a lot!

Well that sounds like a HAPPY NEW YEAR's resolution.
