8. I haven't. I still need to put on about ten pounds. I'm impressed with your accomplishment!

It's far harder to take off weight than to put it on but I'm struggling with feeling full after only eating a tiny bit. That's after losing over 50 lbs, so perhaps it is a psychological problem. It took me a lot longer than six months (twice your three) to drop those pounds. You're obviously dedicated and you'll feel better for it. Keep up the good work. And yes, it is harder with age. I was in my forties when I took off the 50 and that was a serious challenge, but I used a mobile bike rather than a stationary. The only real difference is having to climb hills on a mobile. I've got an eliptical now (it was in someone's trash pile, no electronics, but it works for excersize).
