Awesome job!!

Dauntlessness

These results were done in about a year but this last year I have maintained my weight and built muscle even though I want to lose another 40. My biggest issue is I am starting a bakery in the spring so I am making all kinds of stuff I shouldn't eat haha! I have major issues with food and at this point I am exercising to eat which I know isn't healthy. Figures, right?

At my most successful I was eating very clean but I was also allowing myself some leeway. Once a week my husband and I go out to eat and I get whatever I want, dessert included. I don't believe in denying myself because it brings on binges. Its all about balance.

I go through phases with my breakfasts. Here are a few : 4 egg whites and 1 egg and a banana, protein shakes and a banana, oat cereal and a banana, yoplait frozen smoothies and a protein bar and now I am on dole shakers and a protein bar...haha

I normally have a salad for lunch every day with some canned fruit in water, grapes, banana, etc or leftovers.

Dinners are usually low carb and normal type of foods. I almost never use mixes and I make almost everything homemade. I recently found out I had a gluten sensitivity and that has made a HUGE difference in my weight loss so far. Honestly I think that's why I haven't lost as much weight as I should have this last year. I literally gain like 4lbs over night if I touch the stuff. I obviously cant cut gluten out of my diet 100% when I am a baker but its pretty rare for me to eat it unless I am trying the things I bake or kind of get sucked into it when people around me want to order pizza or something like that.

Snacks: popcorn, fruit, dole lime bars...actually here is a link to some:

This was my upper body result of weight lifting for about 2 months, from a couple of years ago.

Your arms are perfect!

This is me..before dec 2011 weight about 210... after jan 2013 weight 206..

I did gain 30lbs in between that time and just about lost it all now.. this is between lifting as much as I can and Zumba.

Hey, I know where you are in the first pic, I'm from Astoria!

I don't really have progress pics specifically from strength training, but about halfway through LiveFit I lost an inch and a half off my thighs. Waist stayed the same, gained half an inch in my butt (which is a good thing).

I got bored with that and started stronglifts. I'll probably take measurements and pics in about a month. I have pretty much maintained my weight through this and livefit but think I look better.

My profile picture is about 6 months change from NROL4W. Not even finished with the program yet :-) (PS Only about 2 pounds difference in the pictures)

Wow, You look amazing!

What is NROL4W?

Thanks for the inspiration.
