    Thanks everyone! I went to the dr in October so it basically took me 6 months. I focused way more on diet than exercise - eating healthier with smaller portions. And I've been walking/jogging as long as the weather is nice!!

    I didn't eat all my exercise calories back - only half. And I always left a cushion of calories at the end of the day because I didn't measure my food. That way I had a better chance of staying at my goal!
