[quote=Anonymous]I workout for 60-90 minutes 7 days a week and eat around 1400-1600 calories a day with one "cheat" day where I eat about 1800 calories. On my cheat day I make sure I workout for 90 minutes. I record everything I eat or drink in MyFitnessPal, so I hold myself accountable. I also walk as much as possible. Have a question for a coworker? I walk to their desk. Need to pick up some milk from the grocery store? I walk there and back. At the end of every day I have walked a minimum of 11000 steps. Many days I walk as closer to 15000, and on the weekends when I go for walks and play outside a lot with my kids I end up closer to 20000 steps. Exercise is good, but I've read some research that shows that people who are thin tend to move more throughout the day. It's those extra steps that really add up. In the end, however, becoming and staying thin is pretty simple. To lose, you need a calorie deficit. To maintain, calories in should equal calories out. It's hard at first to lose, but after a week or so you get used to smaller portion sizes. My weight got as high as 215 pounds when I was in my early 20s. I lost 100 pounds and have never looked back. So I know how hard it is, but it is doable.

My secret for eating less calories? I eat a ton of low calorie, high fiber foods. I can eat an entire head of cabbage and feel completely stuffed for most of the day for not so many calories. I eat about 90% of the day like that. That leaves me about 500 calories per day to satisfy my sweet tooth with some ice cream or a slight of cake or whatever.[/quote]
