Since starting food journaling in January and then MFP in February of 2011 I have lost ~40 pounds, give or take a few since I was too embarassed to actually weigh myself before I started. =P Since it's summer I'm in the field in consulting working hard physically most days, but also eating all of my meals in greasy oil field restaurants. Burgers, fries, and beer are the main staples here. I'm not as concerned with losing while I'm pulling 14 hour days for weeks on end, but I'd prefer not to gain anything or eat too terribly either.

So here are my before and after pictures for some motivation. This is me last summer weighing somewhere between 200 and 210 pounds, feeling sluggish, gross, and fat.

Here is me today weighing 166 and feeling altogether better and healthier.

    Don't let work mess up your fitness. Because it will if you let it. And you don't want that to happen because you've done so well.:glasses:
