A Chef's Waistline

Greetings,
My Quick Intro:
A friend of mine highly recommended this site so I thought I would check it out. While working in a different career, I recently started going to culinary school for fun. I have always had a fondness for flavorful food and a body to prove it! In 2006, I chose to live a healthier lifestyle and was able to quit smoking and lost ~50 pounds. I have been a regular at the gym ever since.
Now, I am considering cooking professionally if an upcoming internship goes well and I would like to further refine my physical fitness, particularly in the next two months.
My goal: trimmer thighs, more muscle tone (particularly abdomen), and more muscle mass.
Good luck to everyone on achieving their goals!

I'm a graduate of Culinary in 2007- while there I gained 40 pounds! There is a way to love flavorful food, eat what you love and maintain a healthy weight!
It's actually quite fun putting healthy spins on some traditionally fattening meals! The hardest part for me was when I worked in bakeries!
Keep up the great work!! From experience I know how hard it is to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time!0 -
Good luck! It's possible! Just a bite, that is my professional advice
(ok maybe two bites, just to be sure)0 -
I know what you mean, I have always been a good cook and had the body to prove it...but I would rather be healthy so I am tying to lose weight and eat in MODERATION! Good luck on your journey and REACH FOR THOSE DREAMS! You can do it!0
