Made it to my goal!

I'm a sixty year old guy. One and a half years ago I started out at 230. Today, I cracked 150. Eighty lost, over one-third of what I started with. After years of gaining, sitting on the couch, eating what I pleased, I decided if I didn't do it then, I would never do it. Did the whole nine yards, two personal training sessions a week, changed my diet, got a Polar fitness tracker, and logged my calories into MFP - an incredibly huge help in the whole thing. Waist went from 40 (snug!) to below 32 now, body fat from 40% to 14%, and my arms, chest, and core are probably the best they've ever been. I would have to say, the biggest factor was self-discipline. Like most things in life, the mental aspect is predominant, I believe. Now I'm entering the maintenance phase of this - another challenge, but I think I'm up to it! I wish success for all the members of the MFP community!
