What motivated you to stay on the course?
knowing that in the end it would be worth it...and my teammates also gave me motivation to keep going and to do my best

Did your diet change? if so, how?
Yes!!!! Totally. No sweets, chocolate, soda...last month I ate way more dark vegetables. Like spinach, broccoli, green beans and bunch of salad and no pasta, bread, or rice. :-(((  everyday. That was  my meal!! with no salt or dressing!! and also cut down on the sugar. good thing is I always allowed myself to have a bad day that I would eat whatever I wanted to. sometimes I would go overboard and guess what! it didn't matter cuz I would still lose what I wanted to on my next weigh in. have a bad day!! it won't hurt...

What advice could you give to others that want the same results?
Cut down on everything. eat smaller portions. biggest meals earlier in the day. cut down on salt and sugar. water water water
