    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)
