Let's try this again ;)..... This weight loss was done with lots of exercise and a little bit of dieting. I am now focusing on the diet because my knees took a beating with all that exercise and I can't do as much as I was. Becoming a Zumba instructor for awhile helped a lot :)

    I was doing atleast 2 hours of cardio a day/ 5 days a week so I couldn't cut back on much of the carbs because it took my energy with it. Overall I ate better because I had to. I felt better and it helped me do all the exercise to eat better with just a bunch of fruits and less fried stuff. I still hate veggies and don't eat many of those :/
