    Congrats! You look really great.

    I have to ask since this question comes up so much - do you eat back your exercise calories? What's, on average, your daily calorie intake?

    I don't eat back the calories right now....I may try it, because my weight loss has slowed down. But I don't stick to strictly 1200 calories either...I am somewhere between 1200-1400. I eat lots of protein and veggies + 2 shakes a day. I cut gluten completely, because of the effect it has on my brain ( it makes me cry uncontrollably?). I exercise 1.5 hrs a day- as many days a week as I can!

    Thanks everyone! It's hard work, but so worth it! Another thing to remember is that if you are eating healthy and exercising, don't rely on the scale!!!! Use a tape measure instead :)

    I got rid of all junk, white sugar, white potatoes, gluten (because of health issues), traded cow milk for coconut milk and Almond milk, I exercise 5x a week (cardio/strength mix), I only drink water, I make sure to get my Zzzzzzzzz, and have good friends/supporting husband and children to help me along the way
