    I feel the same way, I love this site too. I just started at the beginning of January but this is the first time ever where I am making myself accountable and being true to myself. I am not doing any gimmicks, diet stuff anything just food makeover and sweat. It's great.

    2012 is my year

    The feed back has really blown me away. You guys and girls are what makes this site rock! Thank you again and again. I look forward to seeing everyone reach their goals!

    someone asked what I ate.

    I ate a lot of low calorie dense food. Mashed potatoes, Oatmeal and lots of peanut butter sandwiches. I drank 32 oz of water with every meal. I took lean cuisines for lunch every day. It really was important for me to drink as much water as possible. If I was hungry and out of calories I went to the gym and earned them. Yes I ate back my workout calories every day. As long as I was at my net that is all I cared about. I won't say that I ate very clean but I wanted to keep it simple( My rule # 1) Weight loss has so many health benefits that I just focused on that. Now that I am where I want to be I can spend my time and extra calories eating cleaner. I am sure their is healthier ways to do it but to me it was the results that mattered.

    oatmeal and PB...yum :) PB is in my diary EVERY damn day! lol

    Thank you for the kind words. I was going to try to reply to everyone but I guess that is just silly. I cannot say enough good things about this site. For extra motivation I wanted to point out I lost 28 lbs in about 90 days. I had lost about 15 lbs over about 6 months before finding this site. My advice to anyone that cares.

    1. Keep it simple
    2. Drink tons of water
    3. When unsure - Over estimate calories in and under estimate calories burned.
    4. Don't obsess over the scale. Pick a weigh in day once a week and stick with it.
    5. Most importantly be honest with yourself. Don't pretend the cupcake was only 25 calories.


    Great tips! My favorite is the last one. :laugh:
    Congrats...you look great!

    Love your rule #4. I tend to weigh obsessively and I need to stop. It just frustrates me. Congrats on your weight loss though. You look great.

    Congratulations! You look amazing :) I've followed the same tips since I started (except getting water in is like pulling teeth for me - somedays I'm insatiable but most days I just can't do it lol). Now it's time to keep it off ;)
