Yo Jeff, looks like things are going well. You may already know this but when doing resistance exercise to burn calories think big muscles. The muscles between your waist and knees and the back are the biggest. These burn tons of calories when trained with weights. If you could find a place to do some squats that woud be great, mabey a dumbell in each hand. Also some bent over rows for the back. Good luck!

Understood (and resistance training was always part of the plan to make up for the basal calories that will drop naturally as I lose weight).
I was figuring Chest, Back and Abs as far as major muscles...was assuming that my legs (thighs, glutes, etc) have had plenty of workout just hauling my ass around walking and playing racquetball)
Hmmm.....Real squats are tough without a spotter to make sure I keep back straight and don't hurt myself. Bent-over rows are on my list...
I may just have to invest in some equipment. Between my single dumbbell and wobbly bench at home and my limited nautilus stuff at work, it's not the right equipment for an 'easy' workout. But then again..nobody said this would be easy!

It took me a while to figure out that I needed to keep the resistance fairly high when using an aerobic machine. Its amazing how many more calories are burned even during a short workout with the resistance set a little higher. It has to be low enough to maintain a steady cadence but dont go too light.
