23 lbs lost on MFP. (Joined May 2012)
29.4 lbs total lost since Jan 2012.

The weight loss has been slow, But I rather be losing while having a realistic diet and exercise regimen. So when there is little time for exercise It is not to hard to sneak it in or adapt to life's craziness.

Eating:
Eating out less. When I do I make sure to save half for later.
Drinking V8 because I don't like eating vegetables. Eating more portions of turkey and chicken and less portions of ham and beef.
Eating less or no fried foods. If I buy chips or things I know are high taste and high in calories/fat, I make sure to not eat it all in one sitting.
I don't drink alcohol.
I only drink soda if I am at a party. I drink water from the water fountain at work as much as I can or fill up a 32 ounce old powerade bottle.

Exercise:
Main exercise is using the elliptical machine on max resistance for an hour. This burns over 1000 Calories and I do this at least 3 times a week.
I park farther away in the parking lot at work to get in walking.
I try to do dips and sit ups at my work desk a few times a week.
On days I workout burning 1000 calories I eat about 1500-1800 calories.


My weight lost has gone in the negative direction a few times but I get back on track by getting back on exercising and eating less junk food.

Hope to hit my goal weight in May!

    That's fantastic - well done. You can really really see a huge change in your face. You know what they say - "slowly but surely wins the race" (well they do in the UK anyway!) Good luck with reaching your goal.

    Thank you, scubajo. It has been tough but I have had more "on" days then "off." I don't know Hope Solo but you'll meet your goal I bet with more "on" days then "off."
