Progress Update - 44 lbs down w/ pics!

You look awesome!!!:flowerforyou:

Thanks!

okay! wow! that is awesome, I am new to this site, could you please give me some pointers as to what you did to stay on track and what worked for steady weight loss?

Thank you! I try to eat around 1200 - 1400 calories most days. I don't deprive myself of anything! I just exercise portion control and usually log my food in advance so I know what I have enough calories for. My will power has improved tremendously over the last 5 months. My husband and co-workers are constantly getting fast food and buying chips and candy, but I've learned to ignore their food. I save my calories for the things I really enjoy, and I can now have my favorite junk food in the house and eat in moderation. I still eat fast food occasionally, but I eat smaller portions and balance it out by eating sensibly the rest of the day.

I also burn a lot of calories at work. I work on a production line, so I'm constantly moving full speed and lifting heavy parts. I've been working 10 hour days, so I actually haven't exercised much outside of work. When I do exercise at home, like I will be this week because I don't go back to work until Jan. 3rd, I do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and speed walk on the treadmill. I also eat a lot of foods high in protein while I'm at work and drink a lot of water!

Great Job hun!!

Thanks!

you look amazing!!! such an inspiration! thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

You look amazing! Wow, that hard work has paid off. So happy for you. :happy:

Thanks!

Thanks, I think I am on the right track. I have an hour for lunch and i have decided in stead of sitting in the break room that going to our gym and power walking for atleast 30 min instead i can get a daily work out in. I've also lowered my caloric intake thanks to myfitnesspal.com and I am doing the same just eating in moderation. Staying away from processed foods and saving my calories for what i really like. God bless you and I look forward to my success as well, glad I joined the site.

It definitely sounds like you're on the right track. I'm sure you'll do great!

You look fantastic!!!

Thank you!

OMG you look amazing....you should be so proud of yourself.

Thank you!
