    This is crazy. Crazy-disciplined!

    Congratulations. :)

    EDIT: I was trying to reply to the post where you said that the "secret" was being really up on your working out and watching your intake. And having one cookie rather than two or three. Anyway, good work! (I hope that I may be as successful.)

    how did you do it? excellent work i would love to know what diet plan you were using...:bigsmile:

    I'm not using any diet plan. I am diligent about staying within my daily calorie allowance. I also try to make smarter choices about food... like eating more fruits and veggies, less processed foods, more protein, more fiber, and less sugar. I also work out 5 or 6 days a week. The other big thing for me is not giving up on myself when I make mistakes. For example, a week or so ago I ate an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream... but instead of getting down on myself and quitting, I told myself that wasn't a very good choice and promised to make a better choice next time. Sometimes the better choice just has to be half as much of the "bad" food I want to eat, but it's a better choice. My main concern is with this being a lifestyle change, not a diet.

    Whoa!! I don't know how you could look in the mirror & not see the difference, you look FABULOUS!!! 70 lbs in 8 months is GREAT!! I am hoping that I am on my way there. Can I ask, what calorie count did you try to stay at/around?

    I go for 1200 net calories for the day. It keeps me full and seems to work for me. (I'm a shorty)
