Secret to Weight Loss

So this is my first time posting here so I hope this works. I wanted to share my secret to losing weight. Here it is: eat less and workout more. This is it. This really worked out for me :-)

I was never overweight growing up. I was always fit however, I had HORRIBLE eating habits. I live in Chicago and on every corner there is a restaurant. Pizza puffs, Italian beefs, and Mild sauce were things I ate on the regular. Have you ever heard of Harold's Chicken Shack???? I got pregnant with my daughter back in 2007 and I gained at least 50 lbs. When I got pregnant I didnt change my eating habits. I ate Flammin' Hot chips with cheese, Kool aid jammers, Capri suns, and tons of hot pockets even though I was an adult. After having her I didnt lose all of the wight but I didnt really care. THEN I started seeing myself in pictures and I was disgusted/disgusting. The final straw was when I saw what I thought was an intruder in my house I screamed and then realized it was my shadow.....I screamed again.

I started researching everything! I counted calories and I worked out which I had not done since I was 18 (I'll be 30 in a few weeks.) I drink tons of water and I dont make excuses. I still eat cakes and pizza but its in moderation. I dont eat processed foods though. I eat vegetables and fruits now which I never did growing up.

Here is my progress:
