My first success story. That sounds so good. I had set a goal of losing 30 pounds by the time school started in the fall. (I am 26 yrs old, married, college student) And as of today I have accomplished just that!!! 30 pounds of fat forever gone!!

I did it by counting calories and fat. Also by walking about 3 miles 4 times a week. I started on June 1 this summer and am so happy to be returning to school 30 pounds lighter.

I still have a long way to go (70 more pounds to goal) but it was so motivating to reach this short term goal I set for myself.

It is funny though when I think about carrying around 30 more pounds on a daily basis. I can barely lift that when I try at the weight room. And to think I had that on me. CRAZY!!

Good luck all and thanks for reading my sweet little success. I can't wait for the day I can post in here again.

love and luck,
gina

Congratulations on reaching your goal. Just out of curiosity, could you tell me what your limits were for calories and fat? I am doing the same thing, and I am not exactly sure what would be the best. I have been using Dietwatch, but it seems like the limits are high.
Thanks a lot, and again, way to go!

Gina,

That is great news! Thanks for sharing. And, keep up the good work. Now I'm going to revisit my goals to make sure they are attainable and also whether I'm doing enough to reach them.

Best to you,
