i never really did a committed calorie log count. But it seems to work. I have had personal trainers since 2005 and I did lose 150 lbs from 350, but when you stop being dedicated it creeps back up . I am now dependent on myself. ( i go to a trainer now Mondays for monitoring and exercise, I love the MMA fighting we do) I will be 65 this year and I just want blood count good and fight ye olde arthritis in the knees. Realize we cannot all be Adonis complex victims and if you are a bear be a healthy one. Good luck to all. I am just so over winter and we had snow again last Tuesday. Keep it up men.....0
