Thank you everyone for your kind words! To answer a few questions:

-Starting weight was 308

-Exercise: 4-5 times a week for at least an hour, sometimes longer. I'm really into Zumba, bike riding, walking, 30 day shred, and the Arc trainer eliptical

-Food advice: I eat whatever I want, just in moderation. You can view my food diary on myfitnesspal if you'd like (akurre12). I crave cheetos, cheesburgers, and fries constantly still after all this time. So I don't deprive myself. If I buy a bag of $1.49 cheetos, I eat it over the course of 4-5 days so I don't ruin my day.

-I usually eat between 900-1200 calories a day, and I don't eat back the calories I burn during exercise. I try and shoot for at least 300 calories burned a day, but try even harder to burn at least 500!

Thanks for sharing. I've often wondered- should I eat back my calories? And most often I do. It's actually difficult to eat back my calories burned. I feel like I'm over eating tremendously. Now I will say that something must be going right- I'm down over 60 pounds in 3 months- but I've been contemplating trying harder to lower my caloric intake. I'd love to talk to you more about this topic as you've seen tremendous success in just one years time.
