    Great job you look great! And i hear ya i have been veg since 11 and vegan since 15 but that didnt stop me from blowing up during my pregnancy at 23

    Thank you!
    Right? It irks me when I see "you don't need to count calories to lose weight, just eat clean" or "You'll get fat eating sugar/four/'junk'". Well.. it didn't take a scientist to figure out that I was eating more than my body needed in healthy food! Someone got into an argument with me once because I eat what I like and that wasn't 'healthy' to their standards. They told me to enjoy being fat. Haha. It's funny, even with great progress others will still try and knock you down with their so called perfectionism.

    Congrats. I too am doing CICO. Like you, I do eat healthy foods (veggies, fruit, lean protein. etc.) but I work in a treat once in awhile. Today, I left enough calories for a drumstick ice cream cone. I don't give myself a treat every day, but when I do, I enjoy it even more. I don't look at it as a reward anymore either. I look at it as a bank account, and that sometimes a treat can be one of the withdrawals I make from my savings. Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration!

    From 260lbs to 176lbs in 4 years with breaks along the way. Around 40-50lbs to go! Until I saw these pictures side-by-side, it was hard to see and accept my progress..

    I'll never give up Oreos, either. ;)

    Great job. I gave up Oreos long before I started on a healthier lifestyle. There is no way I can eat a few and stop. Actually I can, but I dont like to so I just dont buy them
