Have you made progress?

I would guess that all my fat loss is about 90% diet and 20% exercise. I would probably have lost the same amount of weight with my small calorie deficit but the weightlifting allowed me to hang onto as much muscle as possible.

I didnt do any special diet or workout. Just kept my protien and fat at a healthy level and made the rest of my calories up with whatever I wanted. The workout was a combination of cardio and weight training.

I have been using this site since January. I have a goal of losing 64 lbs. by my 64th birthday "64 by 64" and I am getting close to being half way there (I will be 64 in 2013). I set a goal of 1 pound a week and I have pretty much acheived that goal. I am trying to eat as "cleanly" as possible and am swimming or walking almost daily for exercise. It is slow but steady and I am very happy with my results so far. I remind myself that the weight did not go on over night and it will not go away overnight, either. I also make sure to eat breakfast every day and steer clear of the foods that I crave the most...breads and pizza. I eat very few processed foods and shop at our local farmer's market whenever possible for organic fresh fruits and vegetables. If I can do it, anyone can. This site has been my salvation. Keep at it, it WILL happen, slowly but surely.

Before I started on MFP, I lost 7 pounds over the course of a year slowly cutting down on portion sizes, and then another 4 pounds over the course of 2 weeks from switching from high-sugar options of snacks and cereals to low-sugar options and continuing to cut down on portion sizes.

When I started on MFP, I was shocked at how much I was really eating. I learned a lot from my first day logged and I began to be more aware of the foods I was eating and I started logging a day in advance so I could have a plan for my 6 small meals every day. I also began adding more exercise into my days -- mostly walking, sometimes dancing, jogging, or biking.

I began being more aware of how much water I was actually drinking in a day. I began eating more and more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables - now, I generally eat 4-5 servings of vegetables and 1-2 servings of fruit every day.

Here is a blog post I wrote about my dietary changes:

Since starting on MFP on 2 / 17 / 2012, I've lost 14 pounds, but in total, I've lost 25 pounds in about 1 1/2 years. I'm 5'3", 26 years old, female, and I eat roughly around 1200 calories net. My highest weight was 170 lbs (slightly obese), I'm now 145 (overweight), and looking to reach 140 (normal BMI) at which time I will reset my goal to 130.

I started on May 1, 2012 and have lost 28 pounds. I still have about 76 pounds to go but I am taking it one day at a time. I have tried diets before and after a couple months I would get bored and give up. Not with MFP. I love being able to have all the support and read the other success stories. It pushes me to go all the way. I have changed the way I eat, especially portions. I walk to work almost every day and just bought a bike to ride the trails.

well my tracker here is starting with what i weighed when i created the account it does not allot for the 20+ pounds i lost before coming here, Fall 2011 i attended the zumba class three times a week as much as i could and i would do every weight machine in the gym 20 reps of whatever i could lift that day this took me two hours each day which was good, i also cut out sodas for the most part i did not however change my diet i just ate less and i dont mean less calories instead of eating two mcchicken sandwhiches i ate one and so on, granted i dont eat the bread with hardly anything i hate bread but thats another story. thats at least how i lost my first 20lbs anyways ^_^
