Oh almost forgot...if you are working off 600 calories then you need to eat some of those back. Its not good to go under 1200. If you eat 1200, work off 600, eat another 400-600.I always make sure my end calorie intake of the day is between 1000-12000 with my workouts

ts normal when you first cut your calories to lose a lot of weight. I just lowered my calories after upping them to restart my metabolism and am losing around 1/2 a pound a day. But in 3-4 weeks its gonna slow down when my metabolism catches up. Its ok, Not unhealthy. But dont get discouraged in 3-4 weeks when your not…

Been there hun! Just keep going. Workout harder and longer and that will speed up your metabolism. I was at 235, down to 173. Goal is 140. Feel free to add me hun.

I am the same way. We have kids and spending money on myself is something I just dont do, even though I know I should. I reward myself by knowing Im healthier for my kids and husband. I reward myself with being able to fit in smaller clothes....worst part of losing weight, having to spend money on smaller clothes!!

I am a SAHM of 4 kids ages 7, 6, 3 and 9 months. I am also 5'2. I started my journey at 235 and am down to 173. My goal is 140ish. I have done it 10 pounds at a time! My goal right now I 165 and then so on.

After 4 8 pounders Id need a miracle to look anything like you guys!!! Awesome job! After i lose this last 25 pounds Ill be getting a tummy tuck and boob job. I wouldnt trade my miracles for anything though. I love my pouch and tiger stripes!

Dear 16 year old me, Do exactly what you did because it made you who you are today.

Im 175, Id love to be down to 145 by June 26, my 26th bday! :)

Every morning so I can track whether or not I lost or gained and then change what I did the previous day if needed. Ive lost 60 lbs doing it so its not an issue for me.

I eat 1200-1400 calories a day. I choose healthy foods and try and eat as clean as possible but Im not gonna cut out processed food completely. On days I cheat, I still make better choices than I would have before. We dont eat white bread or white pasta. whole wheat only and lots more fruits and veggies.

No it wont. Ive lost around 55 pounds eating 1200 calories and working out 3-4 days a week, I started in Sept of 2012. However, there have been weeks where I didnt work out at all due to time management issues. You can do it, but its hard. I find that Id rather workout a little more to eat a little more. I have…

OMG I love this!! I am 5'3 and started at 235 and am down to 177, my goal weight is 140ish. This totally gives me the inspiration to get it done!!! How long did it take you??

Because I want to go shopping for new clothes on my birthday!

My starting weight was 235, my goal weight is 145. Right now I am 178 and focusing on getting to 165 and then I will go from there.

Im feeling like Im a failure. Like all the hard work Ive put into losing 55lbs hasnt paid off. Ive been stuck at 178 for like 3 months. I want to be 165 so bad. Ive used the medical issues going on with my children as an excuse to eat whatever, especially fast food since Im on the road so much. And I know its BS, Ive been…

WOW! You are def an inspiration!!! Awesome job!! Question...if you dont mind answering...how is your skin? I got up to 235 and after 4 kids back ot back I feel like if I lose weight too fast my skin wont look right. Im trying to lose slower now so It has at least a chance to return to as normal as it will get. lol. Did…

I personally drink diet soda, at least a 4oz glass a day with one of my meals. I hate water so diet soda is my treat.

If you dont mind, how tall are you? I started at 235, Im down to 177, goal is 140. Im 5'3.

are the noodles weighed before or after you cook them? It just looks like alot more than 1oz of noodles....Looks delish tho! I will have to try this!

I have eaten 1200 calories a day since Sept 1 of 2012. I am now down 56 pounds. I started exerising by doing 3 days on the treadmill just walking. I am now doing circuit training and kickboxing. I want to lose another 45ish. However, I was thinking of upping my calories to 1500 but not sure if thats gonna make me stop…

I eat a 1200 calorie diet and I work out every single day. I do my treadmill, circuit training and kickboxing. I switch it up and try and get at least 20 min a day if not more. I also allow myself to have cheat days and enjoy foods I am craving. Just because I have a bad meal or day doesnt mean Im done eating healthy. I…
