Goal Weight!! With Pics

Thanks Everyone! I started last year and got fed up of always being in pain, and I was starting to have some health problems so I bought and elliptical machine and joined MFP. I started out at I think 1600 calories and got down to 1200 calories a day (to lose 2 pounds a month). Since I was close to my goal I started increasing my calories to 1580 (which is where I am now) to lose .5 pounds a month. I do 45 minutes on the elliptical 6-7 days a week and strength training 3 times a week. The one thing that I did that really made me able to keep up with the program is that one day a month I would have a cheat day where I could eat whatever I want. Since I was new to dieting it was really important for me psychologically to know I could still eat the way I used to sometimes. However, the more weight I lost, and the better I ate, the less I wanted to cheat. I actually started to LIKE eating healthy! I still "cheat" some times, but I don't consider it cheating anymore. I've learned that a healthy diet can still include some not so healthy things, the secret is moderation. I will never go back because I know that being healthy feels so much better than that burger will taste.
