    Amazing results! What kind of workouts did you do? I am planning on gettin married next year and I have 9 or more pounds to lose and lots of toning. I just finished my first week of insanity this week. I am hoping to get amazing results. I have already lost one pound and I am definitely losing inches

    Hey! congrats on your engagement! SOOOOO Exciting!!
    What worked for me was Not eating back Exercise calories as MFP instructs you to. The first picture was me 1 year into consistently working out and eating back exercise calories on MyFitnessPal.I was also concentrating more on how many calories I was burning each day, and Cardio, cardio, And more cardio was my focus to lose weight.

    Didn't help.

    It wasn't until I switched my focus to Lifting and HIIT cardio that I really made my transformation.
    MY advice for you would to not necessarily pay attention to when you eat (some will disagree) but just eat the set amount of calories MyFitnessPal tells you. I also pay attention to my Macros. Do you?
    I have mine set on 40/30/30 (Protein/fats/Carbs) This has helped me A LOT as well.

    For cardio, I do HIITs. (high intensity Interval Training) 3xs a week. 15-25mins
    If you're a cardio bunny, there's nothing wrong with filling in the rest of your days with Steady state cardio, but I honestly only Do 20min HIITS 3 days a week and that's it.

    As far as lifting, I split my muscle groups up into different days. I do Back/bi's, Chest/Tri's, Legs, Shoulders, and then I do a bootcamp Once a week just to mix it up a bit.

    Hope this helps!
