What am I doing?

Just this morning I had a friend ask me how I was losing weight?

Is there a specific program, diet, or workout that I'm doing?

I've been doing it the old fashion way for the most part.

I stick between 1000-1200 calories a day

and I work out 5-6 days a week...7 days now in June..thanks to the June Boom :)

Back in January, when I started my weight loss journey, I did SlimQuick's Gentle Cleanse.

I didn't notice a huge difference in weight loss, not anymore than I think I would have lost without it, but I didn't feel so sluggish after I finished it..but at the same time, I had been eating better and exercising during that time, so it could have just been from that.

I posted here an example of what my daily diet kind of looks like.

For exercise I run, walk, or do a workout DVD... The Firm's 500 calorie burn or Gold's Gym Stay Ball routine. I got a deal on some passes to Gold's Gym and will occasionally go with a friend while we use those up...I loved the spin class.

So that's it in a nutshell, no fad diet and no specific workout series DVDs, although I wouldn't mind trying Jillian Michael's 30 day shred or something like p90x someday.

Do you have any "tricks" you are doing to lose weight or just old fashion diet and exercise?
