14 pounds down...

I think I'm the only one left here, but I'm working hard, so I'm going to brag about it today.  I am far from where I was, and where I want to be, but I am getting there. I am using MYFITNESSPAL.COM and I love it! It tracks my exercise, tells me how many calories I burn, and it tracks what I eat so I know how many calories are going in also. I'm trying to stick to 12-1300 calories a day, and I usually burn about 500 calories during my workouts. I exercise 6 days a week, and I have lost 14 pounds so far. I'm still working hard, but the calorie thing is working for me. It helps me see that even when I "think" I'm eating healthy- I still need to be aware of how many calories are going in. Eating has always been my struggle, so this is helping. Also- if I eat good all day, I can usually fit in something sweet if I have enough calories to do it.  This helps too. Everyone needs a little something sweet now and then.  Hope you girls are all doing okay. I'd love an update if you get a minute!
