    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.

    Congratulations! You look great, and thanks for the top five :)

    GOOD WORK!!

    I can't get over the fact how much younger and vibrant people look when they shed the extra weight.

    So can't wait to have that glow again.

    simple but on point ...

    do you really think water was a big deal in all of this? what is "tons" for you??

    Yes I think water is huge. For me half of the time I thought I was hungry I was actually thirsty. I heard a rumor once that our bodies don't know the difference. So we assume we are hungry and eat. Also drinking 32 oz of water with a meal makes me feel full. Tons for me is anywhere around 200 oz a day. I drink a gallon at work during the day. I pee a lot.

    BTW I thought my thread died lol. Thank you so much for the continued replies and compliments. You guys/gals just made my Tuesday!
