Any size 12 - 6's

ElizabethPalm01

Most of the success stories are about larger losses which are all great but I really wana hear about the ladies in their 20s who lost 20 or so pounds. Kinda like I am aiming to do.

I have been fad dieting and yo-yoing for a year or 2 and I am ready to make the change and be patient. My plan is to up my cals and to exercise (without killing myself) and like I said to be patient.

I have given myself 2-3 months to lose 20 pounds.

Are any other 20 or so girls who have pulled this off? I'd like to hear from you. How was the journey? How did you do it? How are you feeling now? Anything I need to be aware of?

Thank you!

Well I have 20 lbs to lose , and I've lost 5 so far . I am cutting my calories from 1500-1200 , I put everything into the fitness pal food diary. Be really strict on yourself , when I have a craving I have a tea coffee or a source yogurt 35 calories , it works for me to kill the craving

I started at a 12 and now I'm a 6. I lost almost 20 lbs but I'm still looking to lose 10-15. I'm 29. Started at 165 and today I'm 148. I'm 5'7". I took a year to lose the first ten but lost the next ten in the last month and a half. I eat 1200 calories a day and work out 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. But that's because I decided I wanted to seriously buckle down and lose as much as possible before my brother's wedding.

I'm 1/2 way there. 28, Started size 9 @ 147 and now size 3/4 133. Took about 6 weeks so hoping to get the next 10 off in the next 4-6 weeks

It took me about 7 months to lose 30lbs. From 152 to 132. I went from a size 10 being tight to now a size 4 being loose. I really have to watch my portion size since I have a 4 year old daughter who I have to cook more high fat to help gain weight. I also did couch to 5k and am now training for a half marathon and tough mudder. Im back in nursing school full time which is kicking my butt so I'm focused on maintaining and toning right now.

I should add the lowest I let my calories go is 1500 because I love food.
