So I'm down to 197 from 208, it took 8 days of being strict with myself food wise. I know I'm more than physically active enough, as I'm a competitive skier by profession, I just binge and eat WAY too much.

I started a fitday.com journal, and keep track of EVERYTHING. I still eat all the same foods, just WAY less of it. I find if I don't eat lots of protein and some fatty foods like cheese or nuts I'm more likely to binge.

I'm intaking around 1200-1800Kcal a day and burning 2500-3500kcal a day.

Also making sure I have water bottles EVERYWHERE. In the truck, in the gym bag, in my food, in the fridge, I flavor about 1/2 of them with crystal light, I find it helps a lot...

Here are the photos.

208 photo that made me get serious. My face has never been that full or fat before... you can hide fat on your body but not on your face!




197... from few days ago up sledding.









I've got ~8ibs to go or so I figure before I fit my size 10 jeans, VERY EXCITED!

You go girl!! I am shocked that you weigh that much, you must have a body fat of 10%, you look great already, but good luck with the weight loss.

Thanks! But I've had 8 knee surgeries now, and I AM carrying around 25ibs of extra fat. My coach and physio want me to trim down to around 170-175 for next season. I weighed 158ibs 2 years ago before i started injuring my knees. For 5'8", if I got to 175ibs I'd be estatic! All the fat seems to be around the middle, and it hangs over pants and such. I don't have unrealistic goals, I don't think... all the charts say I should weight around 150ibs but that wont happen.

This site is an amazing motivational tool, and seeing other success stories really helps realize that it IS possible..

My gosh! You look FANTASTIC! Congrats on the work so far!

That's awesome! It took me almost 2 months to lose that amount, though I am not trying to lose quickly. THanks for sharing the pics, love the one with you and the truck.

Awesome job ~ great pictures! Keep going!

Great job! Enjoy wearing those size 10 jeans any day now!

You look FANTASTIC! Keep at it

You look adorable!! Congrats on the weight loss!
