    You look amazing!! Omg congrats on staying motivated and keeping with it!! I am struggling a little and would love for you to give me something that helped inspire you, or perhaps a saying that kept you going?

    You look great!! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks :smile:
    Making mini monthly goals kept me going. Never thought in a million years that I'll be under 200lbs after so many failed attempts.

    Keep going, never give up :smile:

    You go girl you are awesome! How did you do it? did you stay under a specific number of calories? did you eat more? please tell us!

    Thanks :)

    I eat from 1200- 1400 calories a day.

    As I lost more weight and became more active I increased my calories by 100. Sometimes I eat when I'm hungry. I try not to obsess over calories.

    Thanks every one! the comments means a lot :smile:

    I started out with walking 4-6 miles a day in the park. Sometimes I'll switch it up and cycle for 10-20 miles. I lost Over 30lbs by doing that from May to October. With the weather change, I bought a hula hoop and weights to keep active at home. I would workout at home for an hour or two. Recently I bought a gym membership. I workout for 60-90mins 4-6 times a wk. 60-70 minutes of cardio on the (Elliptical/ Treadmill or Arc Trainer) 20 minutes Circuit Training.

    I eat 4 to5 times a day.

    breakfast (almond butter and jelly on whole grain fiber bread)

    snack: Quest Bar, Cereal, or greek yogurt

    Lunch: Bunch of Vegetables

    Dinner: Bunch of vegetables and salmon

    I try to eat healthy. I do indulge once in awhile once it fits in my daily calories.
