‎100 days, 50 pounds, 3 sizes =

Wow! You look amazing! Please share story?

My goal calorie intake is 1610, but I am usually a little under. I walk a minimum of 5 miles a day, with sometimes walking 3 at 3mph 3 times a week,I also do the EA Active game on Wii. I tried the Wii Fit but I needed more direction and supervision. The EA Active is like having a personal trainer with the ability to workout when you want. I have used all of the versions of the EA Active and have seen positive results. My typical daily burn ranges from 700-1200, depending on if I do the Wii and walking.

In the past, I struggled with an eating disorder and would binge eat. That is still something I struggle with but I allow myself one day of "cheat" food - like pizza or lasagna. I find that it satifies my craving and I don't feel guilty. Also, it happens on my day off which allows me to workout on the Wii and take a long walk. My typical daily food is Carnation Instant Breakfast and a Fiber One bar for breakfast, a wrap with grilled chicken and organic cheese, granola bar and raisins for lunch, and a salad with chicken, italian dressing, and croutons for dinner. My nighttime snack is usually some crackers or a sugar free popsicle. I recently read that a good idea is no carbs after lunch and that makes sense. Also, a good night's sleep is what I noticed is the difference for me.

I weigh in every day at the same time on the Wii board, which has not moved from it's spot! I hated the false hope of the crooked bathroom tiles messing with a typical scale. There are days I gain .7, lose .2, and flip flop - like this week! The point is to not be frustrated with the gain because it's not like I gained the 50 back in one day. One or two here and there are not the end of the world, just the motivation necessary to get up in the morning and remain active.
