lost 10 lbs w/o exercise and it's stayed off!

Okay, so I admit I haven't been working out in the last few months, I have been WAY too busy. However I read somewhere that losing weight is 80% food and 20% exercise. So i decided to try and watch my intake instead. Since September I have lost 10 lbs with just watching what I eat. I know it's not an amazing number I do wish it was higher, but I am the slowest weight loss loser alive I really think , and hey it has stayed off so far, knock on some wood.

I have also determined that eating a big breakfast, and small tiny healthy snacks throughout the day just keeps me munching and wanting more all day, I am never satisfied. I decided to pay attention to when one of my friends eats that I regularly study with ( she is an extra small size) and what her portions are.

At the moment I have cut my portions in half, eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily and 10 cups of water .

I honestly feel satisfied with my food, and I feel healthier and have more energy. I know this isn't the most amazing accomplishment, I def wish I had lost more weight, however considering I had no time to workout, and one of my BIGGEST flaws is the way I eat, this is amazing for me.

It may not seem like much, but it's still good progress!

Way to go!

Cool, good job. If you build some muscle it will help keep it off. I've heard that muscle consumes over 19 times more energy then fat, even when resting.

Congrats on the weightloss!

But.....(you knew it was coming)

Having read your past challenge posts, you had a giant tendancy to seriously undereat. Do you happen to know how much muscle vs fat you lost?
