Summer 2012 approx. 295 lbs & now- 161 lbs Edited to add that I am 10 months out as of tomorrow. I'm not a carb Nazi. I limit carbs (I have not had a sandwich in 10 months or soda pop) but eat pretty much what I want, just making good and healthy choices 90% of the time. I bought a food scale and weigh and measure EVERYTHING. I track every morsel I put in my mouth on MyFitnessPal (HUGE reason for my success). For exercise I do Zumba and Couch to 5K. This can be done and you can be successful eating in moderation. Good luck to everyone!

Wow u look amazing!

An example of yesterday (1355 cals) 1am (I work nights): leftover hibachi steak (2 oz) and vegetables & black coffee during the shift/ 8am: 1/2 Thomas' light English muffin with 1 tbsp. coconut oil and 1 tbsp. apple butter/ 2p (pre-run): 1/2 English muffin + 1 tbsp. natural Peanut Butter & sugar free jam/ 3pm: frozen dark chocolate dipped strawberry halves & sugar free chai tea w/ almond milk/ 5pm: flat bottomed taco shell w/ 1/2 cup refried Beans, salsa, and light sour cream/ 7pm: 2 slices bacon & 2 scrambled eggs (I couldn't finish the eggs- they were jumbo); 8pm: 1 dark chocolate square w/ 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter, chai tea almond milk latte & 1 tbsp. sugar free creamer w/ coffee. That's "all". Seems like a lot. LOL Hope this helps.

Thank you.. It does help to see what the future holds for us just starting the process!!!!

Unbelievable! I'm about the same starting weight and wearing scrubs as we speak. I feel like your before pic. I hope to be able to accomplish what you have. How inspiring!

I was done on May 1 and I am down 101lbs as of this Tuesday. I work overnight too so sometimes it hard to eat on the run. I eat protein and then take protein shakes to work so if the break is not coming I can have something.
