This post was just what I needed. Thanks so much for the inspiration and motivation! I'll be saving this, sticking it up on my fridge, putting it in my phone, etc.

I'm most definitely a meat eater - almost exclusively carnivore. Everyone's different, but eating a high-protein, moderate-fat, low-carb diet works best for me. Anything else, and I balloon up pretty darn quickly.

Great job! For a second, I thought, "Where's the after pic? That's just the same girl in the first photo"--and THEN it hit me. lol Congratulations! You look awesome :)

You look EXACTLY like a friend of mine O_O But that's beside the point lol Wonderful job, and congrats on 50lbs gone! It definitely is an awesome feeling. :) Keep up the great work!

Never liked the stuff, anyway. It has such a weird taste...

That goal is DEFINITELY doable. I lost 28 pounds in 6 weeks or 42 days, and I'm still losing (this coming from someone who's struggled with weight issues her ENTIRE life). But I feel that it would depend a lot on your diet. I gave up calorie-counting and, instead, adopted a low-carb (or, on some days, zero-carb) diet, and…
