I wanted to lose 90 lbs to get down to 140.....i am 5'5. I am down to 184 lbs right now so i lost 46 lbs so far...I have been watching what i have been eating.....i did cut out my danger foods at 1st ( my breads, pastas, sweets, rice and potatoes) just until i could control myself....lol....i drink alot of water but i do treat myself to a diet soda every now and then.....i have put some bread back in but it is light bread...........recently found a great website w/ great recipes its hungrygirl had a chili dog the other night that was only 106 calories...........lol.....I also make sure i exercise.......i do pilates everyday for 20-25 minutes.........its great and has helped strengthen up flabby areas!....I tried the treadmill but i dont like it...so the pilates are great it is something i can keep up with!.....I am excited that i am halfway there!
