    You're the exact same height as me and your starting weight is mine as well.. What was your routine?

    For the first month I started with JM's 30Day Shred. Then I moved closer to a gym, so I did 70-80 minutes of cardio 6 days/week. I really should have incorporated strength training much sooner; it makes SUCH a difference in adding body definition. My arms didn't even catch up with the weight loss till I started lifting heavy. For the last 2 months I've been doing 30 minutes of strength training followed by 45-50 minutes of cardio 5 days/week--still excessive probably, but I have anxiety issues that the cardio helps with. And I love to eat. I'm currently doing 1400 + 80-90% of my exercise calories (or 10%-15% below my TDEE), but I do intend on increasing that once I hit maintenance.

    Am I over-sharing? Hope it helps. :)

    Wow, I cannot believe you lost around 50lbs. You really didn't look like you had that much to lose, so I was shocked when I saw your 'after' pics. Great job!
