The picture on the left I weighed in at 154lbs, the one on the right I was 138lbs. (I am currently at 134lbs as of this morning).

    Thank you so much!

    As far as exercise, I worked out between 4-6 times a week mainly incorporating cardio. I did kickboxing, martial arts and Jiu Jitsu. I burned about 500-600 calories per session. It was definitely a lot of hard work and persistence.

    My diet changed drastically mid-January. I became gluten-free, which meant that I omitted all pastries, breads, pastas, etc. This definitely helped me eliminate all of the bad food I was still so desperately attached to. I started with eating a 1200 calorie diet and I began to lose weight in a healthy manner. My weight loss began to stall after losing about 13lbs (or so) for about 3 weeks, and I decided to up my calories to 1500 calories. This I think helped my body to realize that I was not in starvation mode and I began to lose the weight again. Here I am today at 134lbs and I'm here to tell you it is possible. Its not about being perfect every day, because believe me I wasn't and often treated myself. But its about CONSISTENCE.

    I am still on my journey and would love for anyone else on here to share their story with us! =]

    You look amazing!!!

    I recently increased my calorie intake from 1200 to 1400 cal/day because I've been plateaued for a year now. I'm 5'3" and currently weigh 154 so I'm hoping consuming more calories helps. Oh and I do Tae Bo, Jillian Michael's Kickboxing and other high intensity workouts...we have a lot in common {except you're way younger than me so lucky you!}. :wink:
