Took me only the first 2 months to lose 10 pounds and it started to get a little harder the longer i did it, but I didn't give up and it's so worth it! I still count my calories to maintain my weight. It's a habit now! I usually will have one or two cheat days in the week and it usually doesn't effect me as long as I do good the majority of the time. Anyone can do it you just have to really want to do it and be dedicated! Make sure to take before pics because I didn't and I wish I did!

    WooHoo! Great job! It really does fall off if you can find a way to stay committed. I have around 20 lbs. to go, and I'm really looking forward to finishing strong!
    Congratulations!

    :) nice!
    I started today, well April fools day lol I decided enough with the foolishness of not actively taking care of myself, body & mind. And so I returned to the gym for the first time in a very long time. I got a personal trainer 1x wkly and she suggested this app, to help me track my progress. Here

    Great job! I'm 144 now...goal weight is 120. How many calories per day did you eat to lose the weight?

    I started out at 146, now down to 139 started in early March.. It's a slow process and I get easily discouraged thinking of how long it will take me to get down to 120.. But I am determined! I eat 1200 cals a day with minimal excercise (just for the time being!!) but when I am able to go back to the gym, I will up my calorie intake and lift some weights along with cardio!

    I first started at 1400 calories and lost weight because it was way less then I normally ate but then my body started getting use to it and stayed the same so I lowered it to 1200 calories a day
