Hello all,
I am Brian, and I started my journey into the world of losing weight, and bettering myself almost 5 months ago. When I began, I weighed in at 280 pounds. I am currently 161.8, and I'm not finished. I just wanted to share a little bit of this success, because it's truly amazing what you can do when you set it in stone. This was certainly something that started out as a decision, which slowly turned into a commitment, and overtime, that became dedication. Now, I call it a Lifestyle. In my books, exercising is a full time job. Personally, if you work out hard enough everyday, I don't care what you eat. I consumed a lunch of 800 calories today, and you know what I did after? I went and burnt 1400 calories. You eat what you want, you just watch portion size, and make sure that you get a healthy workout in after. I am Brian, and this is my story so far. I hope this might give you a little motivation. Have a great day everyone!

-Brian

    Thank you for sharing your continued success with us. The thing that really stood out to me as the reason for your success is this ...... "started out as a decision, which slowly turned into a commitment, and overtime, that became dedication. Now, I call it a Lifestyle" this is the reason why you will keep your weight off and continue with your healthy life - because you have made it not a diet but a lifestyle. This is something that you share with all the successful people I have come to know on and off MFP. Well done.:smile:
