So I never thought I'd show my face on here, but eff it. I'm just so excited!!

My pics aren't full body or that great, and the old pic I have makes me look SO much bigger than I really was, but you get the idea, I hope....





Thanks for all your support!

Excellent..congrats on your success ! You worked hard for it & you deserve it

It would be great if you include how you did it, while its great & quite motivating for others when someone shares their progress pics, it could be more inspirational when you share your journey too..the good times..the bad times..the moment of binges and how did you overcome..your experiences could become inspiration for lot.

Thanks for sharing your pictures..you'd always been beautiful, you now look fabulous

I started this thing in April, and have been losing about 10 lbs a month. I started jogging and walking 2-3 times a week. On the days I don't jog I limit carbs to about 40 a day. Otherwise it's about 80, on jogging days. Carb limits I could tell def helped in my weight loss.

I eat very little, about 1100-1200 cals a day. Lots of lunchmeat, chicken breasts, artichokes, no carb stuff. My carbs include my treat of 100 cal popcorn.

I DO CHEAT! About once or twice a month. And I have binging behaviors, so this has been really hard.

Red Robin has been my savior, eating their salad with honey mustard and ensenada chicken platter about twice a week. That really is the only place I can go to eat, that I like!!

I literally have to avoid parties, potlucks, nicer restaurants because I know I will binge and overload. For me, I have to totally remove myself from tempting things, or else it just won't work.

And WATER! I drink at least 6 liters of it, and at least 2 right before bed. If I drink 2 L before bed and weigh myself the next morning, I always weigh less than I did the morning before! It "flushes" or something!

I carry a little notebook with me to count/guess every cal and carb too!

It's been tough and I still have a way to go!
