Calorie Counting, oh how I love you!

Choice, choices, choices. I can choose to be 277 or I can choose to be 205 and losing. I'll take the 205.

Consistency is my secret. Even on my off day(s), tomorrow is a new day. Never give up. Stumble, okay...staying down is not an option.

and really, If I can do it...ANYONE can do it!

    Wow, that's awesome! As beautiful (and downright sexy) as all the ladies are on here :love: , I love seeing the guys before and after photos. I can't help but picture how I'll look when I see pictures like this.

    Thanks, StormGuy. I agree. Nothing better than seeing potential realized. :)

    Thanks to all so far who have commented. Calorie counting itself is simple. It's the rest of the battle that makes it so hard. I literally had to take control of MANY facets of my life. Wrestling with old thoughts, old mind recordings, and trying to make little changes along the way versus a massive culture shock that would have been overwhelming and ensured my failure.

    I'm still on the journey and thought having a pic to tell the story so far.....very encouraging. I look forward to seeing others' success story pics. We're in this together!

    I think you nailed it when you used the word "Consistency" I have found that if I do what I am suppose to do today and then turn around and do the same exact thing the next day...It all works out. There has been times I have not seen a loss for the week, but I keep just plugging along and the next week it shows up...Congratulations on your loss and thanks for the common sense advice. :drinker:

    I know me...if I don't get up, dust off, and keep on.....I will only revert back to the old mindset. New body is an output of new thinking. :)

    That is awesome. I'm jealous. The only thing I've lost are my car keys so far. :laugh: And an inch off of my waist. I know that as long as I keep going though this will be me posting how much I've lost! Good job!
