edited September 27 in Success Stories
I started this journey on January 16th, 2011 which is 115 days. In that time, I have lost 47 lbs and countless inches. I am 3 lbs away from being in ONEderland. YAY!! I started in size 16/18 jeans and I'm now down to a size 14. :drinker: Oh and I'm 5' 7".

I know most people want to know how I did this. It's no BIG secret though. :smile:

* We watch what we eat. For me that is: no salt (I use Morton's substitute salt), I use a bunch of different Ms. Dash's marinades & spices, no butter, no soda, no sugar for the most part and no mayo - those are some of the things that I have cut out.

* I log my food. And stick to the guidelines that MFP set for me.

* I exercise 4-6 x a week (usually). I do Power 90 (P90) not P90x.

* And I typically do the Couch 2 5k a couple times a week.

* Lastly, the support from the MFP community is beyond amazing! :flowerforyou:

That's the BIG secret. LOL :tongue:


Onto to the pics:
