Your side profile pic is what I DREAM OF!!!! I see your workout routines, gonna look into those. What was your caloric intake on average especially with your workouts? Did you have to cut anything out altogether?

Also, I started watching my calories on Sept. 4, eating between 1200-1500, but my "before" pic is from the 17th. On the 17th, I started eating Paleo, which is basically cutting out sugar, grains, and legumes and trying to stick to real foods, proteins, and healthy fats, fruits and veggies. Many Paleo people cut dairy also, but that's not me. I still have Splenda in my coffee which I'm sure is a big no no but hey I have to do what works for me. (I do eat back some or all of my exercise cals if I'm hungry. If I'm not, I don't.)

Prior to me starting, I ate crap all of the time. Lots of processed food, fast food, dining out (yes even with our big family, we ate out at least 2x per week sometimes more), pastas and bread etc. The first four days of Paleo were torture! I felt like crap. My head felt dizzy and weird. I was lacking energy and just didn't feel myself. Day 5 I woke up a new person! I was filled with energy and felt great and have felt this way ever since! Before, every night around 9pm I would have insatiable cravings for food. Since changing my eating, I have yet to have a night where I'm craving anything. I eat dinner and that's it. I've had no desire for anything else. If I want something though, I will eat it.

Hope this helps:-)
