    For those of you on here and in my inbox asking for more details on my plan:

    All I did was count calories for the first 2/3 of my weight loss. I ate 1,000 calories under what I burned a day, in order to lose two pounds a week. When I had gotten small enough that eating 1000 calories under what I burned a day, was below 1200 calories, I stopped lowering my calorie intake as I lost weight. Instead, I started exercising so I could continue to eat 1,200 calories a day while still getting to lose around two pounds a week. The weight loss slows down gradually the more you lose, so now I don't always lose two pounds in one week. In the beginning I was losing over 2 pounds a week consistently.

    The last 1/4 of my diet this far, I started eating vegan. I didn't do it for the weight loss I did it for my health. I have no gallbladder and eating a lot of grease and fat was making me very ill with abdominal cramps and frequent trips to the bathroom (If you catch my drift.) I think it's actually a bit harder to eat vegan and stay under my calorie goal that it was back when I ate meat and animal products. I feel much healthier now and I have my blood-work regularly monitored by a doctor to make sure I'm ok.

    As for exercise, I now do three days on, one day off of 30-40 min of cardio. I use an elliptical. Hope this helps!
