    Great job!! I think losing 90 pounds is more than just "all right". You look great! Can you share some of your tips on how you lost so much weight? Thanks!

    I started slow, I made tiny goals every week to accomplish, tracked my food, I have 1 serving of junk food a day or 2 half servings of 2 different junk foods, I have cheat days on Saturday bc I work in a restaurant & work a long shift that day, I stay active throughout my day by picking up the house, cleaning, going for walks, going to the gym, I drink plenty of water- a lot more than 8 glasses, I make sure I get my fruit & veggie servings in& eat foods with nutritional value like eggs, yogurt, chicken. I eat 1700-2000 calories a day

    It's telling me to eat 1700. How did you get to have that many? 1200 is hard sometimes! Great job!

    Your metabolism is slow if you're filling up on 1200, the faster you digest your food the more you have to eat.

    When I started I ate 1400, the more weight I lost the more I had to eat, I know it seems weird & confusing & I struggled to get myself to eat that much but the week I increased to 1700 I actually lost more weight than when I was eating 1200-1400

    That is amazing!! I am where you started. What motivated you and what happened to make you finally realize that you wanted to lose the weight? And how long did it take over all?

    I have always had weight fluctuation through puberty I went from 95 pounds my freshman year of high school & went up dramatically then back down a good amount & right back up all the way to 248. When I reached the 200's I started making excuses like "I'll start if I reach 220" then when I went to the doctor I freaked out a little when I weighed 248. I was always insecure when I went out & ever since I was little I've been bullied about being too skinny or too fat. Back in November of 2014 I decided to join the gym bc I wanted to feel comfortable in my body & be able to wear cute clothes & shop any where I wanted. I also had health problems bc of the weight, I didn't get my period for 3 years within the first month of me working out every day I got my period. It was crazy how fast my body became healthier just by working out 20-30 minutes a day. The more results I saw the more I wanted to workout. When I started seeing the definition lines on my stomach I got really excited for my core workouts. Stuff like that :)
