[Rust]

I've started doing DDP Yoga (http://www.ddpyoga.com/ - warning, autoplaying video) along with push-ups, squats and a bunch of stuff with a pile of dumbbells. With the help of an in-home personal trainer, I've gone from weighing 265 pounds (and getting shin splints going up a steep flight of stairs) to 215 pounds in 7 months. I took January off to rest up and give my ankles some time to relax (I broke both of them in 2000 and they sometimes hurt), and only gained 5 pounds.

Now I've added the yoga to my routine, I'll be going pretty strict on the diet starting this weekend (yes, I still drank pop and alcohol and ate chips and occasional McDonald's during those first 7 months). My goal is 190 pounds by June 1 - here's hoping!

So good luck to you, sir! It can be done :)
