[quote=Anonymous]Hi Olivia!

About 3 years ago, I went from 193.5 lbs to 120.   It took me about 7 months (I started in Mid April, hit my goal towards the end of January--I had a slight lapse over the holidays that year)

That was January 2010 that I hit my goal of 120.  I've *mostly* kept it off...I gained a little bit over this past holiday season, but can still fit in my clothes and am confident i'll be taking it off within the next 2 months!

The #1 piece of advice I can give you is to MEASURE everything you eat--use measuring cups, measuring spoons, kitchen scale, etc.   I just ate a salad for dinner.   I measured how much dressing, I weighed 1 oz. of goat cheese to put in it.   I weighed 3.5 ounces of chicken breast, etc.  Then RECORD it.  I see PPs have recommended myfitnesspal--I use Sparkpeople.com--but check out both sites (and others!) and see what works best for you.

I find that I don't need to deny myself treats if I have been careful the rest of the day, and measuring and recording allows me to see if I've been "careful enough."
It's tough (ok, it SUCKS) to do this for everything,  but it WORKS!

Exercise  is important, but its the eating habits that will make or break you.   FWIW, during the holidays this year, I kept my fitness routine  up impeccably, but over-indulged in the eating, and that's why my weight went up.

You can do this!!!! :)
