    Congratulations on your amazing results. I've started my diet yet again on 2nd January 2013 with 74lbs to lose, have lost 15lbs to far, so have another 59lbs to go.
    You are a great inspiration & extremely motivating to us all.
    You and your family must be so proud :bigsmile:

    The calories in non dairy coffee creamor was an eye opener for me too. WOW!! I've cut down from 3 servings of creamor to 2 and only 1 cup of coffee per day (down from 2).

    First step was cutting down to 1 cup a day, so that cut 90 calories a day x 7 days = 630 calories a week! WOW!!! That is like a meal and a half for me, calorie wise.

    Second step I cut my creamor to 2 servings per cup, so now I've cut out an additional 210 calories a week.

    That is a total of 740 calories a week cut out of my diet in just a month. I don't miss it either!

    Your journey is inspiring and I thank you for sharing.

    Keep going...those last 5-6 pounds are within your reach.

    I loved your detailed post ..thank you. You look so beautiful, happy, and fit right now. Amazing job!!!

    I'm gonna say this.. in your before picture, you don't look as heavy as you weighed. you looked more like you weighed 180 or 190. I know that doesn't matter now but you were not some huge fat looking person.

    Just take it up slowly...I increased by 100/day per week over four weeks. Worked great, I didn't gain from it. Best of luck! :)

    Click on the "goals" tab, select "change goals," select "custom," and from there you can manually change your calorie amount, your macro settings, etc. don't forget to click on "save changes" at the bottom, though! :happy:
