I’d love to hear how other people have done it, and also to get some motivation and inspiration. Thanks.

Weight gain/loss is a simple function of calories in versus calories out. The average woman requires 1400 to 1800 calories per day to maintain their weight. So to lose weight aim for 1200 to 1500 calories per day. Eat raw veggies & fruits and small portions 4 to 6 oz of proteins (lean beef, chicken) Cut out highly processed foods (soda, chips, candy, most things found in a 7-11, anything with "high fructose corn syrup" as an ingredient)

The trick to the human body is to keep eating! really. 5 small meals per day will keep your metabolism up & combined with daily exercise will spur weight loss. Cutting down to a single meal per day triggers your body to actually slow your metabolism, making it easier to store fats & gain weight.

My motivation: to look & feel better. Motivation has to be internal, from within yourself. Look in the mirror & realize you have the power to change & no one is stopping you but you!
