Oh, forgot to add how much I've lost. 13 pounds total since Thanksgiving. But I took a few weeks off before sarting again on New Years Day. Since then I have lost 4 pounds.

I am counting calories. I do 1200 a day and all the veggies I want. I eat 4 meals a day that are 300 calories each. I haven't added in exercise yet, but I've lost about 20lbs in 2 months. Once I get back to sleeping at night I'll be at the gym using weights and doing cardio.

I also try to eat as much organic and all-natural stuff as possible but I do still use stuff like butter, fat-free cream cheese, fat-free miracle whip(I hate mayo) because a lot of times the all-natural stuff has a ton of calories more and I need some flavor to my food. I just make sure the calories fit into what I'm allowed for each meal.

I work with an Online Personal Trainer that I've been with for about 2 months now. I've lost a total of 10lbs, gained a little over Christmas, then lost it again :o. This is more of a lifestyle change as apposed to a diet. She doesn't believe in dieting ;). I like it because it's not drastic in what you can and can not eat. I've learned to eat in moderation, exercise,challenge my body, and simply reap the awards from that. I've tried every fad diet out there and always gained my weight back. I'm confident that tis time....I can and WILL maintain after my weight is lost! Here's the link :)

I have been doing it on my own, eating not junk, healthy foods, lots of veggies and fruit, some weight watchers food, and I walk three times a week. I have lost three pounds so far. I have heard losing it slowly keeps it off. we will see how that goes.

oh and lots of water. I forgot that important part of the picture.

GYM

I was going buy weight watchers but have found that just eating healthy and watching calories and fat are working for me. I cook alot from the biggest loser cookbook weighing everything in the food i cook and using the best ingrediants to ensure its healthy. I exersise 6 days a week usually jogging a mile or alittle more, walking at a high speed at an incline and weight training. I just need to work on my days off and not ruin all my hard work.

No matter how everyone is doing this (as long as it is healthy and not harmful to the body) keep with it and we can all do it. Hope to hear success stories from everyone!
