Losing for the Last Time

paxbfl

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself... I'm a 45-year-old guy who has always struggled with keeping my weight down. About 12 years ago I did a very aggressive fitness and nutrition program called "Body For Life" and lost over 30 pounds. I kept it off for a while but eventually went back to my normal eating habits and gained it all back.

I started Body for Life again 5 weeks ago and have already lost 16 pounds. I just discovered myfitnesspal and love it because it helps me better understand how the program works in keeping my calories under control. They say knowledge is power... I feel that knowing what I know now from my daily logs, I won't go back to my old eating habits again. I understand now that I was eating way, way too many calories. I plan to continue logging for the rest of my life.

I'd like to lose 40 pounds total by next Summer... I'm almost halfway there after 5 weeks so I like my chances for success. I also feel GREAT.
