I think my last post stated that I was making some lifestyle changes and that I would let you know how things were progressing. I realize that it has only been a week or so but I want to share the one thing that a lot of us battle every day.Weight. I told myself that at the beginning of the year I was going to get serious about this problem I've had my whole life. I'm so sick of the roller coaster that it turns me off to go to the fair. Now if it was Disneyland I might have a change of heart! So as the new year came upon us I started eating like a normal person again. I have quit gorging on everything as if there won't be anything left for months and have done well at portion sizes. Fruits and veggies have made a comeback and the fats have mostly disappeared. Bread has been downplayed but not completely gone. The only dairy I consume is a little creamer in coffee and some yogurt for breakfast. Hell that isn't completely true cause I have had some mayo. I haven't had any cooked eggs but I'm not totally cutting them out. I'm really trying to stay away from the cheese and butter. Damn do I love cheese and butter! Who doesn't like cheese! My wife is doing well too as she is eating medifast food. Her food is packaged which I think makes it easier to do. At least you don't have to think about taking to much as it is portioned for you. So after the last week, drum roll please, I have lost 2lbs and my wife doubled me. It didn't seem like anything but then I calculated it over a few weeks and wow! Do the math people! As long as I keep this change up my goal weight will get closer and closer. It gets me excited to think of the journey one takes to get where they want. No longer will I ride the coaster. Just the slow boat to success!

Out of touch with the younger generation, I refuse to become a middle-aged matron. I live in a universe of my own creation, and that’s ok. I get to be cool here.
Way to go! I've always admired your will power. Making your intents public and sharing your experience will help assure success. I'd sure like to lose 15 pounds of belly fat and hope some of your sticktoivedness will rub off on me.
Regards,
