    How much did you lose?

    86 pounds. Started by eating super clean and doing tons of cardio. After I dropped around 40 pounds I cut cardio and upped my calories. Then started lifting heavy weight and eating on a 40% Carb, 40% Protein and 20% Fat diet. I still do around 400 cal. worth of Cardio 5 days a week and lift 4 days a week.
