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!0 -

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!0 -
You are awesome. You might be my new favorite person!!0

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.0 -

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.0 -
What an inspiration! Thanks for the story.0

You look fantabulous!! Amazing work, you should be very proud!0

I love this!!! You look so amazing and I truly appreciate you sharing your story!!! I am so inspired by you and your pics!! If I may ask, how long/how many times per week were you doing weight lifting?0

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:0 -
Great post. A must read for all. Inspiring.0

Wow!! That is just amazing!!! I am definitely going to start lifting now!!! Thank you for sharing your story with all of us and proving that our goals are within reach!! 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:)0

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.0
