I lost a ton of weight without any special diets or anything. I faithfully did 30 minutes of exercise bike every day 7 days a week for a year. AND i counted calories like nobody's business. I can't tell myself "no cake" so I just count and count and if I eat cake I get less of something else. I also ate/eat a lot of frozen meals, which helped me determine correct portions. I was starving the first couple weeks but after awhile my stomach got used to smaller amounts, which let me use my calories on some "fun" stuff. And when I was hungry I would drink instead of eat (not alcohol, sadly)... and brush my teeth after dinner... stupid stuff like that. Nowadays I am not really striving to lose, just be healthy in general so I try to eat more fruit and veggies and a good balance. Good luck!Tifffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470472950563183698noreply@blogger.com
