    I eat at a 20% deficit but don't sweat it if I eat at maintenance a couple days a week, try to stick to my macros, have sweets every day, and exercise 6 or 7 days a week... Always a mix of some kind of strength training and cardio.

    I eat at least four fruits in the morning, a pound of raw greens in for lunch, and a lb of cooked greens for dinner. I do not eat after 10 because I normally go to bed around three. don't go to bed after eating or drinking anything other than water. cut out processed foods (except seaweed that stuff is amazing.) no dairy, meat, or salt. I have lost 7 lbs in less than a week by doing this. it works perfectly. try to eat as much nutrients though not the same things every day. honestly it is not fun... but getting on the scales and losing three lbs over night that's fun.

    This is absolutely terrible advice.

    Keto :) It's the only thing I've been able to do to have a calorie deficit while not being hungry the whole time. I haven't even worked out yet.
    Well, not totally true, I've been on probably 6 walks in 9 months...but those probably don't count...

    I used a fitbit to walk off any excess calories

    There are no secrets. I ate less than I burned. I didn't starve myself or set a date. I didn't whine when I hit a plateau. I just kept going.

    I did everythink I needed to to get where I was going. If I triipped, I picked myself up and continued on.

    Basically this, plus:

    I lost 60 pounds in less than a year. From 224 to 161

    I tracked my calories. I started with portion control and the 30 Day Shred, alternating with low impact cardio. Whenever I plateaued, I intensified my workout routine. You have to change things up sometimes. For me this happened about every 20 pounds lost. After losing 24 pounds, I started jogging. I went through a long plateau, then started lifting weights and paid more attention to macros. I fell off the wagon after maintaining for 2 years. Then I hired The Get In Shape Girl (www.thegetinshapeworkoutplan.com). Lost a ton of body fat through circuit training, hit, and clean eating. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a good online trainer. I worked with her for 3 months.

    I'm now trying to get myself back into shape after having a baby. Right now I'm doing Fitness Blender workouts and walking, plus tracking my calories of course.

    Wow, I'm big on energy drinks but I never knew there was a healthy energy drink on the market! I would highly recommend Awaken to anyone who is currently drinking rockstar/monster or any of that other chemical polluted crap... this stuff has NATURAL ingredients that are actually GOOD for you! I did my own research and found a review on them if anyone wants to check it out for themselves you can do so here:
