    Thank you so,so much all . I still have a bit to go. I originally found inspiration watching the show "Extreme Weight Loss" with Chris Powell and his wife Heidi and got the book "Choose More Lose More" it really helped explain their carb cycling plan. I work out 45 minutes a day about 5 days a week pretty intensely. When I first started I was just walking or moving everyday and then worked my way up from there. I have a "cheat meal" once a week usually on Saturday or Sunday for lunch. It has worked for me because I don't feel deprived but still keep my calories pretty low. I also have found a love for Quest Bars as a sweet treat once a day usually at night time! Here is some more info on the carb cycling plan I follow: http://heidipowell.net/2724/carb-cycling-the-turbo-cycle/

    Amazing! Did you follow MFP macros and calorie suggestions or did you use other info? Curious for what you did calorically. I need to lose 100!

    Great Job on your hard work. You look amazing. My husband and I are on this weight loss journey. I love watching Chris and Heidi. I was curious about their weight loss plan and thought about doing it. But my husband is diabetic and I don't know how this would effect him with his blood sugar levels. Would love to add you as an inspiration?
