    YOU look SOOOO much YOUNGER (You thought I was going to say thinner/hotter/better didn't you?) It's true all of it but mostly I think you look younger!

    Amazing story! I know what that red 'rain man' moment feels like. When I changed my goals and it backdated all previous entries to red I flipped.

    Also good motivation to continue to FORCE myself to eat those exercize calories. On big exercize days it's tough.

    Things I did to achieve my goal:
    1. Used MFP and logged religiously...I had a "rain man moment" anytime my calories were in the red...LOL.
    2. Set my macros to 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fat and tried like heck to stay close to those ranges
    3. Drank 14-18 glasses of water a day
    4. Rarely took a workout day off...P90X is a commitment and it is serious
    5. Stayed away from refined sugar, pop, fast food, in other words, CRAP!
    6. Always ate back my exercise calories...my friends will tell you, that I sometimes left 1/2 a tic tac as available calories by the end of the day.
    7. Tried to get AT LEAST 6-7 hours of sleep a night
    8. Splurged on a "cheat day" maybe once every month or two...I kept those to a minimum and normally only during special occasions.
    9. I challenged myself to do better every time I worked out...I needed to keep my body challenged so I wouldn't flat line.
    10. Set my goals at 2 pounds per week until I got to 20 pounds from my goal (then set it at 1 1/2 pounds), scaled it to 1 pounds when I got 10 pounds away, and went to 1/2 pound a week when I was 5 pounds away.

    You did it the right way and that's why you are successful! Hope many MFPs will read thru this list here, listen, and believe it!

    Incredible! Nevermind about losing weight, you've knocked years off yourself! Thanks for all the tips on your road to success - most surprising is the amount of water but I guess as you've been doing some serious exercise programs your intake would double or triple. Many congrats and good luck with maintaining your GW.
