    And don’t forget to drink all your water every day.
  • Hang in there it only get easier! You need to have a net calorie goal and consume as many caloies as close to that goal as possible! Drink lots and lots of water! One thing I have for breakfest that holds me for a while and has little calories is Dannon Litgh and Fit Vanilla Yogurt with a 1/2 cup of granola in it! Yummy!!! Hang in there we are here for you!

    uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh stop drinking beer. Just kidding! I to had a beer belly operative word had. Like all things now i have learned that less is more. Now instead of my normal 3 to 4 schooners 3-4 times a week it's maybe 6 bottles one day a week. I still go see my buddies at the local wateing hole I just don't drink. It wasn't easy but my buddies have been pretty supportive. I think the jokes stopped after 2 weeks. I wish you luck. It's so nice not to have my beer shelf anymore.
  • Eat LOW carb ABD low cal... you will drop alot more weight alot quicker. Also drink tons of water...atleast a gallon a day. Dont step on a scale every day either. And I think you should become buddies with Dane, he seems like someone who could be a great support for you!! He is definately a WINNER in this blog zone!!! You will be a winner too... just dont give up!!
