Half my size

WOW YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!! CONGRATS :) I WISH I LOOKED LIKE THAT!

how long did it take you? & what kind of exercicies were you doing?
 
Thank you all so much for the kind comments!

When I first started, I sort of had a defeatist attitude. I didn't think it was possible for me to lose weight because I had tried it all before. Therefore, I just made small changes and began feeling the differences in the way my clothes were fitting. I didn't even weigh myself until about 2 and a half months into my weight loss when I really started seeing results. It finally propelled me into realizing I could actually lose weight, and it made me want to try harder.

Basically, I cut down my portions A LOT, and I changed foods in which I ate. I eat around 1,000-1,200 calories a day. I have a bowl of some type of healthy cereal in the morning (I prefer without the milk, just plain dry cereal). I eat a lean cuisine for lunch (love those things), I have a piece of fruit as a snack sometime throughout the day, and then some type of lean meat and veggie for dinner.

As far as exercise goes, I didn't even start exercising until about 6 months into my weight loss. It hasn't been as big of a part of the weight loss as the change in diet has. Even now, I only do about 30 minutes of cardio/strength training a day. I'll continue to increase my activity level as time goes on.
 
You look amazing!!!!!!!!! You should be so proud of your achievement!

Your start weight and targets are very similar to mine and you have shown me what could happen for me if i stick at it and try my best to lose the weight. Thank you so much! I needed a boost today and seeing your journey has made me realise that even t ho it seems near impossible, I will get there!! Thanks, ur my new inspiration!!! :D:D:D:D

What fun to see the transformation. Wish it was me! Did you ever hit any plateaus? My hats off to you, that's incredible.

Thanks!

Surprisingly (to me), I never really hit too many plateaus. I generally lost a steady 10 lbs. a month. I would have times where weight loss wouldn't show on the scale for a week, but then I would drop 3-4 lbs the next week. I attribute that to water weight most likely.
