I weighted myself today and for the first time in 5 years I am below 200. (199.5) Yeah.... Just wanting to share. About 3 weeks ago I wasn't loosing. And It was because I wasn't eating all my extra calories from working out. I started eating more like more fruit, nuts, and reduced fat wheat thins, string cheese and things. So Eat all your Calories. I finally went to the reports and was checking my nutrition daily to make sure I was eating enough. :smile:
