Thanks to everyone else for the kind words. This did not happen without some failures and doubting at points, but I've weathered the storm, although I could have been down 100 already if I didn't like cheese so much
The other thing for those going to the gym and doing cardio or walking.....get your heartrate up, if it is not up, you really are just wasting your own time. In the beginning a light jog will get your heartrate going, but as you lose weight the intensity needs to go up. Also, forget about trying to put on much muscle while trying to lose weight, it is pretty redundant. Not to say you shouldn't hit the weights a few times a week, just don't expect to get jacked, lose the weight and then clean bulk (proteins and good fats, not garbage).0 -
Thank you all so much.
I really found that weight loss is 90% diet and 10% physical. Found myself in a little rut back in March where I wasn't really losing much anymore, mostly cardio at first, now trying to tone, gain some strength and get rid of this little bit of belly I have left. Once I get to about 160 I think I will go on a bulking program and put on muscle, not to where I look like a total meat head, but probably an extra 15 pounds of muscle should do the trick.
Start a weight lifting program now, you'll see a huge change in your body very quickly over just cardio.

Good job. I just started this week. I need to lose 100 lbs. any tips you share would be greatly appreciated.
Man, thats the best advise ever!!
Its just that simple, (simple it truly isn't) BUT at the same time, its the most fun I've ever had on a "diet" ... I can eat whatever I want ALTHOUGH I do try to eat as clean (healthy) as possible ... lots of vegetables & fruits with less processed foods BUT IF I want to eat a reg burger at Mcd's and a small fry, I CAN ... I just count the calories and keep it going!
Thanks for sharing your story and you LOOK FABULOUS!0
