Hi everyone, I thought it was my turn to post a success story. I started in April 2011, and have since lost 80 lbs. I plan to lose another 10-20 lbs depending how I feel. I am struggling with 'twin skin' after having twins in 2005 so I am not sure yet what will happen. MFP has been my source of logging and support - thank you! Also, my neighbour Leanne (teeley) has been very instrumental in my success as well!! I went from dying at running for a minute, to doing 6k in 45ish minutes. I exercise (or try) 3x per week, and I mainly stick to 1300ish cals a day. I splurge 1-2 days a week, I need this becuase it's moderation/lifestyle change not a diet. We will all meet our goals, just keep plugging away... all those small losses add up to big ones!

I had to change things around some.. I was eating 1200/day and kind of stalled, so I bumped up to 1300.
I notice when I don't exercise or drink my water my loss struggles. I decided never to deprive myself. I 'cheat' every Friday... and honestly sometimes Saturday.... my loss has slowed a bit as I am closer to my goal but I decided this is LIFE and we need to LIVE it... I am still quite strict the other 5 days. You just need to fiddle around to find something that works for you and adjust as you see fit. Remember every loss is a LOSS and even a gain isn't the end of the world. I gained many times and probably still will, its a nice reality check. Good luck
ETA - I don't eat my exercise cals, becuase I hope they will balance out my cheat days. Thats only me though.0 -
