Thanks! Truthfully, I'm just trying to move more - I try and get 10,000 steps a day (I have a FitBit Zip which I LOVE). I also do at least 30 mins of cardio 6 days a week. I also have really worked to vary my workouts - some running, some elliptical, some walking, and wii zumba every now & then. I've also tried to keep challenging myself, increasing resistance, so my muscles keep building.

I've also figured out that, for me, eating certain things makes me have more cravings and can make it harder for me to make smart choices. I've steered clear of most white flours and sugars and that has helped. I've also cut back on alcohol. I've really tried to make sure I eat enough fiber and have tried to add in veggies to meals whenever I can.

Overall I've just tried to focus on maintaining a balance. I keep moving, I eat nutrient rich foods (veggies!), and I account for things I love --- Jimmy John's!!! -- so I can stay within my calorie limits. I'm not sure how long this rate of loss will last, and not sure my strategies would work for others the same way they've worked for me, but it seems to be clicking for now.
