    Welcome! I found for me it truly is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Log every single thing you put in your mouth. It will educate you to the nutritional value of the food you eat as well as the caloric values. You will start making better choices to get the most calorie "bang for your bite" so to speak (well, at least if you are like me and like to eat!). Make a daily food plan and stick to it but allow for "treats" as long as you don't binge. My personal philosophy (and it has worked like a charm for me) is everything in moderation. I don't deny myself things but I don't go hog-wild crazy either. Good luck!

    Welcome, well at least you know you can do it and it sounds like you have a great exercise plan.
    Just plan your foods out, journal and it will happen again.
    Good luck to you.

    Easier said than done if you dont live on your own, but if you dont buy it, you dont eat it. Thats my theory as Ill eat anything if its there.
