Ideal weight achieved question.

If you successfully achieved your desired weight, what was your daily calorie intake?

I was at 1200 before I got preg. I did start to plateau about halfway through my weightloss. I wouldn't have went lower than that though. I would Hve kicked up exercise but I got preg.

Wow, how long before you started seeing results? What did you mainly eat?

I average between 1200-1800 calories a day. You don't want to maintain the same calorie intake every day, or you're more likely to plateau.

Once I start eating better, exercising regularly, and drinking lots of water, I notice a difference immediately.

Thank you guys so much for the feed back!

I lost 20 lbs in 4 mos. it was a little slow but I was going over my limit a lot Gettig used to cutting down and learning how to limit calories.

But I was like 30-40 lbs above my goal weight. Of u have a smaller goal it might be harder. But the middle was te easiest once I figured out how to make stuff super low calorie.

I ate a lot of chicken, bell peppers, Visalus shakes. I found tortillas that were 100 calories for big ones. Ate as much organic as possible. Made sure I followed serving sizes on labels. Used olive oil or sunflower oil for cooking. Used my fitness pal religiously. It didn't go in my mouth until it was logged. Ate out only at Applebee's for their under 550 menu since its got the best food that's actually quite filling   I had a few nutrisystem meals that someone have me that I'd eat sometimes. I used rice cakes for a bread substitute. I even ate hamburgers on a rice cake. Yum  

before i got pregnant i cut my calories down to about a 1000 a day, maybe a little less. i lost about 60 pounds in 5 months or so. i was also a very active person, and worked out everyday. my sttarting weight was 190 and got down to 130, never looked better... cant wait to start working out again to get back to that
