    Wow...congrats. Your transformation is amazing and inspiring to many. Thank you for sharing.
    Besides making healthier choices...did you follow a certain plan?


    No, no certain plan at all. Honestly the first 30 lbs or so was lost mostly from just walking. It wasn't until I loss some weight that I started utilizing the elliptical and stair climber. I spend an average of 2 hours in the gym about 5 times a week. I am making better choices with my food and I eat way less than I used to. I don't do a lot of mindless eating like before... sitting in front of the TV devouring a bag of pretzels. I still have pretzels, but I have a serving and when it is gone... it's gone. It truly is about moderation and making the connection to fuel your body... not to overfill it.

    Some people I know eventually stopped counting the calories because it becomes tedious do you think you will quit or are you consistently counting every day?

    Well, I have been using MFP since Jan 13th and I have logged everything I have ate except once or twice when I didn't know where to even begin and that was early on. Now, even the rare occasion I have been to a buffet restaurant I estimate and log. Usually doing pretty good with my estimations too. The longer you do it, the easier it becomes as well as it becomes habitual.
