If you're discouraged, shut up and stay and do it!! THIS WORKS! I've lost 113 pounds in 8 months. THIS WORKS! I'm fitness stoopid. I did EVERYTHING wrong: I exercised, then ate, I ate after midnight, I still spent 4 hours watching TV. Log honestly and every day. I don't eat half of what I earn from exercise, usually less, too. I've tweaked a little: some carbs before exercise, lean protein after strength training. I started on 1000 calories, every month or two it rose because I was exercising more, go figure. I'm up to 1800/day, yum! Real strength trainers are up at 2000-2500, lucky munchers. Lately I exercise more but eat less. Stay tuned. If you don't hear from me, someone water my ficus and make sure the dog didn't eat my corpse? Thanks.

Logging every day might sound depressing. Its been my key. You spend 10 minutes online watching cats twerk. Spend 10 minutes saving your life.

We all get discouraged and lose faith. Don't. Please. Look at me. If I can do this, anyone can. Give it time. Try it for a month. After you lose weight, and you will, stay another month, keep coming back.

I'm a new man and I'm not done by half! I move better than I have in years. I've dropped 3 sizes so far. I feel better and happier. I look better :D (I've lost humility pounds, too, heh)

Can you keep a notebook? Sure, but where's the fun in that? friends help. They support, they commiserate. You learn from them. Don't waste too much time here in the forums, enjoy the twerking cats.

Stay and do it. If a moron like me can, anyone can! Best of luck!

    Great post and congrats on your success. I have a question, did you always stay within your calorie limit or did you go over and exercise to make up for the negative calorie number. I try to stay under but most days I go over by a little but make it up with exercise. Just curious?

    What a delightful post to read for two reasons:

    (1) your determination to keep going and your SUCCESS

    (2) your hilarious sense of humor (even though I don't normally care for self-deprecating comments)

    I really needed to hear this today! I had a bad binge in the middle of the night last night and was just feeling ****ty this morning. I logged it in yesterdays diary and have started over fresh today. I have a 55 day streak! I will continue to log and keep going :) Thanks so much!
