Just want to say that you look great! I find it impressive that you've gone from where you were to where you are now. It's very obvious how dedicated you are and how hard you've worked. I find that kind of strength very becoming.

Well thank you! I feel like I have been dedicated, but I have also tried to maintain some realism. I didn't go into this with unrealistic goals or expectations. I have been working on this for about two years now. I have also changed my mindset. It really isn't easy to healthy and in shape. If it was, then everyone would be. However, just because it is hard work, doesn't mean you have to obsess over it and make it harder than it already is.

However, I will say, after being in a bulking state for a while... now that I am cutting, it is REALLY tough. I went from eating as much as I want (pretty clean yet) to a pretty restrictive calorie level and it is definitely taking time to readjust. Which is probably why I have been more active on MFP...

With that I opened up my food diary to anyone interested in checking it out. I fill it out every day. The only thing I don't do is water but due to the supplement I take, I'm sucking down gallons of water a day so I don't feel like I need to track that much as well.

I also hit weight training 5-6 days a week but don't track that on the log just because there isn't great weight training equivalents and I don't feel that offers anything to the food log.

Again, thank you everyone for your inputs. I'm a pretty modest person but it feels good to read all the praise. *shrugs*
