Way to go. Have you achieved this my just calorie counting or exercise?

marshmallowww

I've been counting calories (eating between 1400 to 1600), and going to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week (30-40 minutes of cardio). At first the weight pretty much fell off, but it is definitely starting to get much harder as I get closer to a healthy weight.

Thanks. I'm at the beginning of my journey, in my 5th week. It helps that people like you post your success stories, gives us hope that we're going in the right direction and that it works if you put the effort in.

You're very welcome, success stories helped to motivate me a lot in the beginning too. It's worth it and it doesn't have to be painful; find ways to make it fun and don't be too hard on yourself (I had "cheat" days about once a week and they've not caused any problems!)

marshmallowww

Thanks guys, I definitely needed the encouragement; my progress is really slowing down as I get closer to my goal which is a little disheartening... But it feels good to be reminded that I'm doing well!
