I kept hearing that same thing. My brother is a personal trainer and is still blown away by my dedication and all of the hard work I put in. I wake up at 3:30am to workout for an hour and a half. Then on the weekends take those classes. It is amazing what the human body can do.
Most people aren't who need to lose aren't physically fit to begin with, then to lose 2lbs a week, they go on a 1,000 calorie deficit. You're speaking of doing more than twice that.

Even if that meant making myself separate meals then what I make my family. There is no huge secret... Do work.. Get results.

Why are you harping on her for her extreme weight loss efforts? That's not the point of this board. The point is to congratulate her. Now give her the tips to succeed. You can't change what she already did, but we can help her going forward.0

Great job and I love the gray shirt0

Yes I only ate back part of my workout calories. Really only because they are so grossly exaggerated on this app. I realize losing weight is all about what you eat.. That is how I had such success to begin with but if you are tying to insinuate that I starved myself... You are completely wrong. If that were true I would never have the energy to workout as much as I do and as hard as I do. I am a chef so I have an awesome knowledge of what power foods are and how to get the most out of my calories.0

Thanks but that kind of crap doesn't bother me one bit. People talk *kitten* because you are chubby, people talk *kitten* because you are skinny. It's always something. I have three kids... One of which I just had in August... Maybe that's why my weight just fell off. All I know is that I have never felt better in my life nor have I been so strong physically. I just did the Murph Memorial Day workout in 53 minutes. You can't fake that kind of strength if you are starving yourself. Haha0 -

Honestly what I have done in the last four months has been more about the lifestyle change. I didn't set out for this high of a number this fast but apparently that's what happens when you put 110 percent into something.0

That is awesome! Please share some ideas if you have any. I try to avoid processed foods, but it is difficult since I'm never sure what to cook or how to count the calories afterwards.
You look so amazing!! Great job!!!!
