Good for you, Miki!! You are accomplishing what so many can't or won't. I'm no expert on quickening the process ( from what I can tell, my fat cells are also part super-glue ) but are you drinking enough water? Are you doing something in the morning - some yoga or stretching or dancing to Aretha - to warm up your metabolism for the day? Let me know what helps you keep that number moving down. We all know the value of building muscle, but I, too, really lust after leaving the 200 club. What a psychological kick that will be. Send me a postcard, since you're gonna beat me there!

And good for you again! An ex-junkie once told me that losing weight was harder than kicking heroin. You are make of strong stuff!
