I eat TDEE minus 20% and have been for the last 6 months. I'm down 50 lbs :) Right now I have my calories set to 1725 but I will admit that many days I only eat 1300-1400. The reason is because every weekend I have a huge cheat meal or even day that I don't ever bother logging ;) It all averages out to be around…

Akron area here! :)

46.8 lbs since 2/11/13

LOOK AT YOU!! Seriously, LOOK!!!!!!!!!! Awesome teeny weeny little waist! ROCK THAT BIKINI!! :)

you ABSOLUTELY want the chest strap one. I have the FT4 and LOVE it. You don't feel the strap. Ever. I even forget I'm wearing it sometimes and forget to take it off until like an hour after I'm done!! The plain wrist ones aren't as accurate and you want accurate

So inspirational! Great job!

What are you using to calculate your TDEE? I've been using: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ since Feb and I'm down 41 lbs. When you enter your weights, enter your CURRENT weight in the place where it says GOAL weight - so you'll use that number twice. Your particular chart (I said you were 5'1") looks like this:…

This. Exactly. That one piece is HOT AS HELL - sexy!!! I think a bikini can work for you too but I'd try to find one that's a tad higher waisted. You look GREAT!

I just made this to put over pasta tonight I wanted to lick the f-ing blender... SO INCREDIBLE Thank you!

This was SO SO SO SO Good! http://chefmommy-brandao.blogspot.ca/2012/03/pork-tenderloin-with-pan-sauce.html Ingredients: 1⁄2 cups olive oil 1⁄3 cup soy sauce 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar (I didn't have so I used red wine) Juice of 1 lemon 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (I used dried) 2 tsp…

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Me! I'm pale :)

For you to say your progress is minimal is RIDICULOUS. Are you kidding me??? LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES, GIRL!!!!!!!!! Two completely different people Your progress is HUGE. Abso-freaking-lutely HUGE Shout it from the rooftops and OWN IT

INSPIRING!!! :) :)

Why is this not yippee? a tenth of a lb lost every week is one more week you didn't GAIN Wouldn't you MUCH rather lose 10 lbs over 100 weeks than GAIN 10 lbs over 100 weeks? Perspective my dear. I'm guessing it didn't take you a few weeks to put on the extra weight. Don't expect it to come off in a few weeks.

oh yeah no way :) I have one huge cheat meal a week, every single week. My daily allowance is around 1550 right now and my cheat meal day usually puts me at like 2800-3000/day once a week. I consistently still lose 1.5/week

I totally get you :) However, I just started packing stuff. I know my schedule for the day way in advance - I use Google calendar for my entire life so it's not like I don't know if I am going to have a nonstop day without time to come home and cook. I used to make excuses like, "I don't have time so I have to hit a drive…

WHOA that seems WAY WAY WAY low. I started at 5'5" and 216 and I have been using the TDEE minus 20% method since 2/11/13 and I'm down 39 lbs today. I started being able to eat over 2000 calories a day and have been averaging 1.5 lbs a week. READ THIS:…

You are absolutely stunningly gorgeous in every single one of those pictures. Seriously - even at your highest weight - wow - you're a knockout. Really. However, what you can see NOW is the biggest. freaking. smile. ever. on your face and the PRIDE you have in yourself and your self confidence and THAT my dear, is the…

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! I kept one pair of jeans for the same reason :)

Artsy

Arms - I'm jealous! :)

Janine Garofolo - she's the bomb!

9 yum

mysterious awesome eyes!

GORGEOUS hair!!!

We'd hit the mall for fun shopping! :)

You are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!

I haven't given it up at ALL, I just drink less of it. For example, it used to be commonplace for me to drink a bottle of wine all in one sitting or maybe 3 beers when I went out. Now? I have maybe 1-2 drinks a week and I make sure I account for them in my calories. I enjoy them, I just don't pound them back like I used…

I'm not sure yet but I think somewhere between 150-160
