Quoting Goldilocks*:" Thanks! I feel kind of lame for posting pics on here and stuff, but I never thought I would be able to accomplish this! I just raced my first race a few weeks ago and I'm running a 10k soon!"

Don't feel lame. You should be proud!

You're beautiful the way you are. And the way you were.
But if it makes you feel better in your own skin, I wish you the best my dear <3

I use the MyFitnessPal app and count my calories, I try to stay at or below 1220 a day, unless I work out that day then I eat more. Let's see, some of my favorite low cal breakfasts are cottage cheese, or a 90 calorie Special K granola bar, or a frozen waffle with bananas on it (no syrup or anything)... For lunches I typically eat a sandwich (turkey on whole wheat bread with muenster cheese and spinach) which is a really low calorie sandwich, with the natural white cheddar cheetos (SOOOO GOOD!)... Or sometimes I'll eat like a Lean Cuisine frozen meal or something. Snacks I have those cheese wedge things with crackers (the cheese is only 30 calories!), or string cheese, or cottage cheese, or fruit, or some of those cheetos if I didn't have them with my lunch... Dinner's are always different. If I'm not cooking for Tommy I like to just do a frozen meal, but if I'm cooking I always do a big salad (my favorite salad is spinach with walnuts and strawberries with a raspberry hazelnut viniagrette dressing), with whatever we eat. Sometimes fish, sometimes chicken (i like spinach stuffed chicken the best), and sometimes I make like turkey burgers or a low calorie lasagna like tonight. I usually have enough calories left to have another snack after dinner (most people have a snack between breakfast and lunch, but I'm NEVER hungry enough for one in the morning, and I always get hungry late at night) so I have those Quaker rice cakes, the caramel kind are SOOO good, or like a 100 calorie pack of popcorn or kettle corn. I don't drink pop or tea anymore unless I am super stressed then I'll waste calories on a Dr. Pepper, but counting calories with this app made it SOOO easy to keep track of, and made me realize how many calories i was wasting on OJ, tea and pop.

Thanks!  

I lift weights at least 2-3 times a week, do lots of ab stuff, and do squats with weights. I like to use 15 lb weights, 1 in each hand. I run quite a bit, at least a couple days a week, and at least once or twice a week I do interval running, where I sprint as fast as I can for like 45 seconds, then jog lightly for like a minute. The interval training is GREAT for your metabolism and heart!
