Nice! I'm just getting back on my diet. I started at 195 last year, got down to 155; that's when I'd fallen and got the TBI. While on bed rest, I'd gained back up to about 180. Sucks that brain food is high carbs. Ugh. Been back on the diet about a week now.

I believe in you! It can be done, just gotta stay strong when those cravings hit. Cucumbers and pickles saved my life. Haha. Don't get discouraged when the second and third week slow down. It'll pick back up as your body adjusts to the new diet.

My goal was ~150, but I probably wanted ~140. Was going for a look and not a number, personally. I just want to lose this belly fat and look fit again.

@Xzeina because she decided it was the right option for her. Let's not make people defend their diet choices. :)

I haven’t cut it out completly but I have cut out a lot of gluten. :3 it’s just something I felt like I needed to do.

I have celiac and that is woefully incorrect @annismyrph. Gluten is a protein found in specific grains, mainly wheat but others as well. Tons of gluten-free stuff is risen or uses yeast. Yeast and chemical rising agents are gluten-free.

Congrats @GildedFire! Sounds like you are on the right path. It can be hard to be disciplined with food choices and physical fitness, but you will probably see benefits in many areas of your life.
Entering the military is a great goal- may you find strength as you prepare for that important job. What branch are you planning to enter? My husband is in the Air Force - I've seen him get stronger and healthier from living the military lifestyle. :) (Now if only I could get it to rub off on me!) :))
