Starting

my weight loss journey tomorrow, I'm sick of being a hipposaurus.  

wish me luck, give me advice, anything motivating, I need it!

Good luck.  I lost 20 pounds in like 2 and half months just by eating right and working out about 4 times a week.

thank you!
what did your work out consist of?
what did you cut or or add to your diet?

I just cut out all the smurf food that I ate. I ate a lot of junk food, and we went out a lot. So we chilled out on going out all the time, and when we did I'd order a salad or a half order of my favorite restaurant's spaghetti.
As for the work out, I've just been doing straight cardio. Elliptical and bicycle. I try to burn about 400- 500 cals a workout.

That sounds definitely attainable. I wanted to be down 20 by my birthday which is Nov 15th, and I started on Aug 26. I'm down 20 but not for long since I just found out I'm pregnant.

Its gonna be a challenge mama! First few weeks are the worst (well was for me) but if you stick your mind to it you can do it! Take pics of yourself once a week and keep them stored so you can watch your progress and look back on how far you come that keeps me motivated!

Love the picture idea, great advice, I feel like it will be hard. What were some meals that you ate that were low calorie & workouts you did?
