    Congratulations! You are an inspiration because you did what works - cardio, strength training and moderation in eating without deprivation and starvation. This post clearly shows the difference between HEALTH and simply losing weight. You chose the path of health which is always far better than a number on a scale. Woo Hoo!!!

    You are so inspiring!!! Congratulations on all you have done. You look great!
    I like that this is a lifestyle change not a diet that is temporary. I'm going to work on lifting weights along with regular walking for exercise. Thanks for sharing!

    Congrats! So if my BMR is 1680, I need to eat under 1680 to lose weight( around 1400 calories)?I lift weights (2x a week with hubby) and do cardio a 4x a week.Eating the right amount of food is always the tricky part.

    Appreciate any tips

    ***********************
    I stopped measuring (as in cups, spoons, grams, ounces) my food.
    protein = the palm of my hand
    carb (complex not simple) = my fist - or 2 slices of sprouted bread
    veg = two open hands cupped together
    fruit = 1 piece 3 times a day (or for berries, cut up stuff like pineapple & watermelon I use 1 cupped hand)

    Eat every 3 to 4 hours
    I aim for 60 to 90 grams of protein and track EVERYTHING.
    Lift weights, do cardio (intervals are great as they help you burn more while increasing strength)

    Strong IS beautiful!

    What a wonderful post! Thank you so much for sharing it. I particularly loved this:

    Keep muscle, lose fat, and you’ll reach your goal body before your goal weight.

    Great photos and amazing work! Well done.

    You don't need to eat under your BMR. You need to eat under your TDEE, which is BMR *plus* your normal daily activity *plus* exercise.

    My BMR is only around 1250-1300. I'm eating 1600 plus exercise calories to very slowly lose a little bit more (about one pound a month, if that). Maintenance for me is about 1750-1800 plus exercise calories, but I don't log on weekends.

    Now that I have a bench & weights at home (best investment ever, because I really hated driving to the gym), I typically lift 2-3 times a week, and between a half hour and an hour.

    Ideally while watching Ellen. :laugh:

And I agree--screw the scale!!!! Heck if I had a body like you I wouldn't need a scale to tell me how good I looked!! Way to go and thanks again:)

    Thanks for being honest! This is the way that I'm doing it this time and it has made a big difference. I eat my calories and just watch my portions. You have done an awesome job.
