Thing I did to lose today: Walked 3.5 miles (60 mins) and am below calorie goal for today. Hope to see some good results at my next weigh in after 2 slow weeks! Good luck everyone!!!!

This... (although I don't know about bulking and cuts) If you have a lot of weight to lose, you'll never be able to maintain if you're too restrictive. It has to be a lifestyle change, not just a "diet". I stay within calorie goal each day (or very close) and if I choose to eat too much I'll try to exercise a little more…

hahaha- this is great! I've lost a human head and a leg!!!! 2 more lbs til a bale of hay :)

Thing I did to lose today: walked 3.75 miles in 65 mins and will not eat those calories back

Congratulations on meeting/exceeding your 12 week goal Laura!!!!

Congratulations! Great results for your 12 weeks!!!! I LOVE this thread also. Lots of inspiration, honesty, and support.

Congrats on your 10 lbs Izzy!!!!! In another 12 weeks if you continue at the same rate, you'll be down almost 10%. Not too shabby :) And that is something to be proud of!!!! Sometimes I feel like we get so wrapped up in the day to day, week to week- that we forget to look at the big picture.

Thats great! I used to do the same thing- eating when I was bored or depressed. Its really a habit that needs to be broken. Im working on it too. Congrats to you for putting the food away and being productive. And a bonus is that you probably feel better that the bathroom is clean :)
