So I only had 17 pounds to lose, but this is the first time in my life that I've lost weight in a healthy manner - no starving or going overboard with exercise. So while I know it's nothing compared to the other folks out there, I'm posting it because I'm proud of having done it!
Here's the before shot, from June of this year...

17 pounds is probably 5-10% of your body weight. That's significant! You look awesome!0

I did mostly cardio over the summer. It wasn't until the end of July that I started adding in weight lifting. Before I hit goal I did an hour of cardio (always something different - elliptical, bike, tae bo, walking with high hills) and an hour of weight liting, which I concentrated on arms. Now I'm only doing 30 minutes of cardio with the weight lifting. My biggest change came from cutting out table salt and eating mostly nonprocessed foods.0
