28 lbs in 3 Months

28 lbs isn't a "tiny weight loss"...it's HUGE... and you look great!

THank you friend . 97 lbs/ WHOA , you are amazing!

Great job! I know how tough it is to be working on improving your health and get a set back from something else. I've been working on watching my food intake and improving my exercise consistency for a while now - goal was to improve health more than to "lose" weight (although that was an objective too). Have been doing well, but am suddenly facing shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks and am somewhat scared that my eating and exercise changes will end up being compromised. I commend you for sticking with it and wish you well as you continue.

Thank you for the kind words. I know what you mean. I had surgery and am now at month 5. Month 2 I barely starting using my hand at the gym-and only to hold on to the tread or anything when I needed. Ive had to limit my exercise because of my hand.

Progress is progress. Just eat healthy, be positive, even walking is great. I know what you went through ..your body does what your mind believes.

*Pretty. Congrats pretty girl!

Thank you so much. The support/positivity is amazing and MCH appreciated.

Amazing job! Very inspiring. I wanted to ask how many calories are you eating per day and how many calories do you burn a day in exercise? I just ask because I am trying to lose 80 pounds and having a hard time figuring out this calorie thing. I have been eating 1200 calories and going to Curves and walking about 30-60 min per day.

I eat 1500 cals a day. A little more when I work out a lot. I work out 6 days a week for about an hour , an hour an a half, every two weeks bump it up to 2 weeks. I work out this much because I literally sit all day. I have a desk job and so I figure an hour plus is only going to benefit me. I burn a lot of calories because Im heavier. The lighter you are the less you lose. I may lose like 1500 cals -2000 cals a day. I have one off day (usually Sunday).t I also try eat every few hours. I have a "cheat " day usually on my non workout day. Since Ive adjusted to 1500 cals a day now I cant even eat my cheat meals. Ill finish half a burger and a few fries and be beyond stuffed and not hungry all day. That's about it. I do have junk food but I portion it , and I don't do it often. I count my Doritos..lol or I have whatever the back says is a serving. Or if I have chips, I buy the tiny ones they sell at Wal-Mart. Its all about balance and moderation. I do a lot of cardio, that's why I look smaller..Im not able to do pushups or weights (had surgery on hand and cannot put ANY weight on it) ..so Im stuck doing the stairs at gym, treadmill and bike.

I literally just walked 8 miles.

Sample of food intake:

Egg whites scrambled (2) on top of toasted wheat English muffin and a little bit of avocado.
Maybe an iced tea-non sugared.

Snack a few hours later : grapes and a piece of cheese (1oz)

Lunch: Salad with some chicken, beans, veggies and salsa

Snack a few hours later: a yogurt or a trail mix

Dinner: lightest meal of the day : fruit blended with water and a spoonful of yogurt or maybe 1/2 cup of milk

I try and stop eating about 6-7 pm (im usually up till 10 pm) so I go to bed a little hungry-which is good.

Email me if you like to know anything else....I just do what works for me. One day at a time...:) Happy Exercising
