I ate out a lot less, ate a lot less food and began working out more...
I work really hard - I'll be honest...

yes - I guess it all comes down to eating a lot less.

You look amazing. I basically watch my calorie intake and exercise and that really works for me.

How long did it take you to lose the weight?

ets see - the before pic was taken for FH's daughter's confirmation in April of 04, and the after pic was from our engagement part Aug 05 - it didn't take THAT long... but probably a good year of consistent eating healthfully and exercising a good deal!

Re: lets see BEFORE & AFTER PICS
Well - the truth is - the before pic was taken after I went thru a tough time and GAINED 30 pounds - so I was thin for a while before I gained all the weight... The after pic was after the 30 pounds I lost - give or take a few pounds - thanks - I would have to say I lost a total of 25-30 from the before pic, but I went down a LOT of sizes because I work out...

Re: lets see BEFORE & AFTER PICS
Here's mine
(well first is the after) & the white dress one is after & the 2 jacket ones are the before
Last fall/winter (New Years) & then 38 lbs lighter last Sat. (I still hope to lose 10 more by my wedding)
Wow, you look great!!! What did you do? What was your starting weight, and what do you weigh now, if you don't mind me asking. I don't think you need to lose any more weight at all.

Re: lets see BEFORE & AFTER PICS
Here are my before and after.
Before is at my e-party May 2005 - I'm in pink in the middle
2 After pics are on a cruise this past March 2006
Unfortunately I gained about 5 lbs back since my cruise, but I'm working on getting it back off and some more!

Well to be honest I was at my heaviest EVER last Jan at 184...I'm currently at 145. I really want to get into the 130's.
I followed a modified WW plan, eating oatmeal EVERY morning & trying to eat something every 3-4 hours (fruit, 100 cal packs)....

I used WW and didn't lose anything after the first 2 weeks. The first week I lost 3 pounds the second week I lost 2...I was so excited and then I NEVER lost a pound after that!!! Nothing! I kept going and staying and that weight every week. I was doing a great job maintaining my fat weight. So I quit WW...what was the point of paying? So now I bought a scale and I'm 1 pound heavier than my WW weight. So 1 more pound and I'm back to those 5 pounds that I lost. I hope I don't get stuck there again...I EVEN had a personal trainer the whole time!! PLEASE help with what you did??? I'm obviously eating something wrong or doing something wrong. Please give me hints about what you did.
THANKS!!!
personally - WW did NOTHING for me!!!!
Really, I just stopped eating junk - I was going thru a stressful time in my life and eating a lot of crap - I just went back to a helthy lifestyle - it took a few years because I lost it slooooowly - but it stayed off, and I keep on losing a few pounds here and there....
people never like when I tell them how I did it - they always want to hear a quick fix... unfortunately, there are none....
