Hi Paola,
correction, i lost 30 pounds = 13.6 kilos.

I did the following:

1. tracking/logging food every day - this i think was most critical as i was unaware of how many calories i was consuming.
2. limited added oils e.g. olive oil in salads
3. i stuck to whole, unprocessed fruit, vegetables, legumes (no dairy)
4. limited grains, especially breads
5. lots of water
6. daily exercise - i run almost every day and strength train several times a week. find a workout buddy for motivation.
7. tried to get good sleep
8. no alcohol (i don't drink anyways)
9. i added ground flaxseed almost daily (for good fats)
10. patience and committment - it took me 30 weeks.
11. measured my weight weekly and logged it.

hope this helps :)

tina
