5'7, 21 lbs down since January 3rd!

VeganPanda

I had a picture taken of myself on Christmas (note the red and green socks) which really sealed it for me: I needed to lose weight. I had been vegan for years but my portions and junk food had gotten out of control and I had ballooned to 173 lbs. On Jan 3rd 2012, I got back on My Fitness Pal and logged everyday. I started drinking pretty much only water, and lots of it. I increased my fruits and vegetables, and decreased my portions in general. I allowed for occasional treats.

I am so proud of my progress. I would still like to lose a bit of weight and tone. I will continue to lose and go til I am satisfied! I want to thank all of my buddies on here for their support. I can't thank you enough, you know who you are.

I hope my success can motivate others to do the same.

I hope these images work!






the middle picture is me at 157, the black dress is around 154. My profile picture of my stomach is my most recent at 152.4

What kind of work outs did you do? I need help in that area. I am down 12 pounds but now the scale is just sitting at the same spot. Here are my questions:
How many days did you work out a week?
What kind of work outs do you do?
How long do you work out each time?
What were the most successful and burned the most calories?

Sorry, nosey questions I know but I would love to have your kind of results. Of course you are 22 and I am 40 so it might be harder for me but it is worth the try:)

Um...you look amazing. What in the heck did you do to lose it that fast? How many calories a day did you eat?

That's okay, haha! I honestly didn't do much regularly, it was mostly the food. I went to the gym occasionally and used the treadmill and the stationary bike, and lately I have been doing 30DS, but not regularly either. My weight loss has slowed down so I know that I should increase my workouts as my goal gets closer and it will be harder to lose.

My diary is open for you to peruse!

Feel free to look at my diary! I try to stay at 1200. At the beginning I would have 1000 and now I tend to have 1300 on average.
