Take it one day at a time.  Small improvements, consistently, every day.

You will get there.

Take measurements of your waist, hips, chest, arms and theigh.  Stop using the scale.  You are doing some pretty high intensity strength work and you will build muscle.  Nip negativity in the bud by focusing on what matters -- and what matters is NOT what is on the scale at this point.

Thank you Chris,
Small improvements: going to the gym regularly (5 days a week) consistency. I can do that.

I'll take some measurements soon.

15 hard working minutes on the elliptical. +3 cool down. Felt like I jogged the entire time over just a brisk walk.
