I started this journey in August and I vowed to work out every single day. I kept up with this for 78 days but I got incredibly sick two days ago and had to rest for two days unfortunately. :( I feel great today though and I am back on track, logging my meals and I plan to pick up my workouts again starting tonight. I have lost sixteen pounds since I started 81 days ago and here are my progress pictures! :)

    Thanks for the support, ladies! <3
    Awesome job!! How many calories were you eating to get to your this point to far?

    I was eating 1200 calories for the first couple weeks because I didn't know any better, but once I did my research and figured out my BMR/TDEE I upped that to 1500 a day plus my exercise calories. :) I felt so much better after upping my calories, seriously.

    Thanks for posting. You look a lot smaller and fantastic.. I want to lose 20 to 30 pounds and it is helpful to see someone who is doing it and getting it done. You look great right now..can't imagine what you'll look like as you continue to log and work out. wtg!

    Thank you for the support everyone!!!! I love MFP. :)
    amazing! Motivating results! Starting today myself! Im sorry what is TDEE?
    Thanks!

    TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It's how much you burn per day including sleeping, sitting, walking around, cleaning, exercising, etc. BMR is how much you would burn if you stayed in bed all day or were in a coma. My BMR is 1500 and my TDEE is somewhere around 2300, so if I eat 1500 + my exercise calories I still have a pretty huge deficit. :) No need to starve myself at 1200!! You should calculate yours too.

    Did you figure out your TDEE by using a fitbit or some other method?
