    Hey everyone... I've had a few people message me and ask me how I did this. So I'll reply here in case others wanted to know, rather than sending me a message :)

    Here were the key things:

    1) Diet
    At 250, I started cutting calories down to 1500. It was an adjustment. As well, I cut out eating processed, refined and fast food. For some this is hard, but let's be honest... it wouldn't kill any of us to eat better hehe. I also only really drink water.
    I limit my salt... and sugar intake and it really helps :)
    Around 220 I cut my calories down to 1300... then at 200 I went to 1200...

    2) Work outs..
    My huge life saver was:
    Lesley Sansone – Walk away the pounds.
    www.walkathome.com

    Here is a link to a site I love that lets you preview the dvd’s so you can get an idea of what the work outs are like  Some are more high impact than others obviously. I usually get the DVDs cheaper on ebay though.
    http://www.collagevideo.com/searchresults.aspx?type=all&search=lesley+sansone

    At 250 it was painful almost to work out, so this program helps you to ease into it and then you can boost it as you progress to get more impact. I also use 5 lb weights now almost the whole work out :)

    I exercised around 2 hours from the start.
    Half hour in the morning... half hour walk at lunch time... and then up to an hour after work.

    Now I basically do 30 day shred in the morning to help with toning and the extra flab skin I have now. Then I still walk at lunch cause I just feel good doing that...a nd after work I'll do a 30 minute to 45 minute Lesley video with weights.

    It's a huge effort, but it pays off!... and in the end I know I'll just have to maintain, the hard work will be over. So really, it's a huge gain for a little price to pay for now :)

    Thanks everyone for your support and comments!!
