I'm not done yet, still truckin' away here but it had been so long since I posted I thought I would report my success :)

I started becoming serious about my health last year when I realized I weighed 209 lbs and was in a size 16!!  I tried fad diets and crazy exercise, nothing was working so I gave up for 6 whole months :(  The good news is that I started back in March with a realistic meal plan.  I eat lots of produce, lots of healthy proteins, very low carbs, and I eat small amounts every 2-3 hours.  It's really a habit now and I can't imagine eating the way I used to eat !! I do enjoy a splurge when I want it, but I don't feel guilty, it's just what I chose to eat that day and that's that.  I also work out about 5 days a week.  Typically it's pilates but I do throw in some TaeBo now.  I just started the Tae Bo this month because it used to really hurt my knees.  Now I got some weight off before I started back and no problems whatsoever.  I am happy to report that currently I weigh 176 lbs which is a 33 lb loss so far and am currently wearing a size 9!!!
