    Thank you for the kind words. I was going to try to reply to everyone but I guess that is just silly. I cannot say enough good things about this site. For extra motivation I wanted to point out I lost 28 lbs in about 90 days. I had lost about 15 lbs over about 6 months before finding this site. My advice to anyone that cares.

    1. Keep it simple
    2. Drink tons of water
    3. When unsure - Over estimate calories in and under estimate calories burned.
    4. Don't obsess over the scale. Pick a weigh in day once a week and stick with it.
    5. Most importantly be honest with yourself. Don't pretend the cupcake was only 25 calories.

    There is no cupcake :)

    Awesome job. Cool to do it for your daughter too... kids TOTALLY know if their parents are lean and/or good looking. I figured out my mom was hot when I was in the 2nd grade and I was proud of her whenever she showed up at school because she looked a lot better than a lot of other moms, so KIDS DO KNOW this stuff!

    Great example setting too :)
    You look really amazing too. Honestly.
