Would you guys post a day in the life of your foods and exericise routine? It would be awesome to see what you eat and do for work outs that brought all of you to where you are now!!! What incredible results!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!

My primary focus was diet! On days that I did exercise I would do a tae bo routine, swim laps, or run a mile. I enjoy exercises that are disguised as something fun like outdoor activities & sports lol. I also did a couple dance-related exercises (zumba, core rhythms, etc.), all at home.

My daily intake was 1200cal, & no eating of exercise calories since my workouts weren't habitual. I ate low carb (35%)/low fat (30%)/low sodium (1500mg)/ low sugar/ high protein (35%)/ high fiber foods and limited alcohol.

Why is my best pic the smallest? Ha ha ha!

I have my "off" days but for the most part I try to eat 1500-1800 calories a day of (mostly) nutritious food. I workout 5 times a week doing Crossfit and weight training in the gym, cardio is only what is during my Crossfit workouts and a couple times a week I do HIIT (15 min) which is mainly running/sprinting/walking. If I can't make it to the gym once a week or so I'll do a good video with weights. The biggest thing I do is pretty much always track, even when I eat crap. It "keeps it real".

I lost all of my initial weight (125 down to 105 pounds) in 4 months of strict diet and exercise (an hour to an hour and a half a day), but it took another good year or two of pushing myself to the max to really see strength and muscle gains and drop body fat.
