3 Month Progress Pictures

Honestly I'm just eating right by making better choices, watching my calorie intake to stay close to my 1400 calories, eating back my exercise calories ( I use an HRM which I love), and eating 5 - 6 meals a day. With the food part it kind of helps that I've been a diabetic for a while because I didn't have to remove things like pop, candy bars, etc from my diet they were already gone but decreasing things like pizza and fast food can be a little trying at time but if I really want it I have it just smaller portion and I look up calorie counts on fast food menus so I know what I want and how many calories before I even get there.

As for exercise I have some health issues that have made my progress slower and also this is my weakness when it comes to motivation. If I could get more motivated with the exercise it would definitely give me results faster. I do go the the gym about 2 - 3 mornings a week and do about 45 minutes of cardio and strength training. I also do water aerobics 1 - 2 days a week. As for other exercise I just try to keep moving I told my daughter this summer I just want to MOVE... go to the park, ride my bike, swim, whatever I just want to be motivated to keep moving.

And lastly but certainly not least I have a fantastic support system. This site and my family have really helped me on my journey. My family and I all did this together. With us all living together it made it easier and we were all able to lean on each other. My daughter and I are still on our journey to lose. My husband (40 lbs) and son-in-law (24 years old has lost 79 lbs) have pretty much achieved their goals and are in more of a maintenance mode (MEN).. LOL

I hope this helps a little. Free free to ADD me as a friend.

Thanks Kendra we need to do this for you too. I think you would be amazed at how much your body has changed and it definitely motivates you when you see the side by side.
