    I just followed my calorie intake limit. It started at 2010 i believe and as my weight dropped my calories dropped. I completely quit pop! and never eat fast food! i also drink water! I still eat things that aren't the "greatest" for me but i never go over my calories! Also I cheat once a week! usually saturday nights i have pizza or for holidays I eat the normal holiday meal! I think its a great way to throw off your metabolism! Also when I got stuck and hit a plateu. I would go over my calories one day and than eat a couple hundred less the next to try and throw my metabolism off! :)

    i honestly did not work out at all besides chasing after my 4 kids and my 20+ daycare kids! I started running at the end of the summer but it wasn't enough to see results because then it snowed! I plan to start going to the gym next month to start toning my body! :)

    Well done!! U look great! Please do not follow what is said about body weight & height ratio..BMI, my skinny sister's BMI results said she is obese & she weighs 50kg (110lb). I would say just drop to the weight which u feel good on & which is healthy.

    I've gotten that alot actually! I think that as i am losing weight i will see what is "too small." The 140 is just an idea. i'm really aiming for the 160 which i am so close to which I am so excited about!! I will post a picture when i get there! :)

    That is so amazing & 10 lbs a month! That is inspiring, so happy for you. Hope I can do the same one day, I had similar questions as the earlier post...what was your net calories/day & how much did you work out & no white carbs etc ? Would really appreciate the insight!! :)
