    Awesome!!!

    Is this weight loss since you joined MFP? Or did you start losing weight before?
    In other words ... how long has it taken you to lose the 72 pounds? :happy:

    This is only since joining MFP. I joined on Feb 9 & started Feb 11. I have no clue why I've been able to lose 72lbs in 6mths, I am not obsessive about exercise, right now I walk only & aim for 4-5 days a week, sometimes I get that in, others don't come close. But I am always good about my food, no cheating, no going over my calories just yet (I still get 1630 a day) & no excuses. I do child care full time so I am on my feet alot which helps keep me active on non exercise days. I just think my body was ready for it to go. I am only 32 yrs old (33 in 2wks), 5'4 & I started out at 295lbs!! Thats alot of weigh on my frame. I've been lucky that so far I've never hit a plateau, I've never not lost. I had 2 weeks of .4 & .6lbs lost, otherwise its been 1-3lbs depending on what kind of week I have. I do try to mix it up though, when we first started we were doing elliptical & I was doing the Just Dance 4 workouts a few times a week, then weather got better & I started walking as much as I could fit it in. Now that Fall/Winter is around the corner, it will be eventually less walking & back to the elliptical. I use to do 20mins, curious to see how much I can do now.
