I joined MFP in July 2011 but started my weight loss mission on June 23, 2011. On that day, I had a serious wake-up call. I tipped my scale at 207.2 lbs, my heaviest weight EVER. I was 23 years old, 5'6 and wore a semi-loose 18 misses pant (because the 16's were too tight and hurt when I sat!!). I was miserable and disgusted with myself.

8 months later, I hit my 50 lb milestone! Currently, I am 156 lbs, 24 years old, 5'6 and currently wearing a size 10 misses pants (and they don't hurt when I sit!!) If you are wondering, "HOW DID SHE DO IT???" I will tell you :wink:

I eat 10-20% under my TDEE, using whatever I burn through exercise as my deficit. I also monitor my body fat % and lean body mass weight. My calories range anywhere from 1600-2000+. I eat higher on days I lift and perform my long runs and eat slightly lower on rest days. I focus hard on hitting my macronutrients and no foods are off limits. I eat pizza, ice cream, bread, mexican food, pasta, cream sauces, butter, chocolate, chik-fil-a, cupcakes.... they are all quite delicious and planned into my daily food diary to fit my calorie needs!

I can't wait until I achieve my fitness goals so I can submit a post with the title, "GOAL!!" :smile:

    Keep it up, you can do it!

    Sometimes what I eat puts me over my goal for the day. And I am ok with that! :)

    Right now, 147-153 lbs. BUT, I want to stop when I feel GREAT and LOOK great in my clothes (and naked too!) I could gain 5 lbs of muscle, weighing 161 lbs but fitting into a size 6! THAT'S what I want ! Fat burn!! :wink:
