    Wow u look amazing what a great job, well done. I'm on my weight loss journey after my second bub I have about 15kg more to lose and I'm on week 4! I've lost 16.5cm and 3.3kg. I'm only seeing 200-300g losses now and trying not to get demotivated about it! Did u have cheat meal once a week and how many calories were you consuming? :)

    Thanks everyone!

    In the beginning I did cardio exclusively. I wanted calories burned and cardio is the most effective way to do that. I worked out for 1 hour every day. Started on the treadmill, walking at a moderate pace - whatever I could do, I didn't strain myself.

    I progressed to the elliptical and then the cross trainer, I added group classes (spinning, Zumba, Les Mills classes), but I stuck to 5-7 times each week.

    A month ago I added resistance training. I have cervical neck issues so I am not "heavy lifting." But I'll tell you this... 3 lb hand weights, after enough reps, feel like cinder blocks!!

    I do not have any "cheat days." I do have days where I'm hungrier than normal and I will exceed calorie allowance at those times. But they are usually related to hormones or muscle repair.

    When I eat over I still log everything and I don't beat myself up or "throw in the towel." I think "that was gooooood food!"
