Just Turned 40 | Day 1 of ?
The day after my 40th birthday I had my Annual check up with my physician. It's been three years since my last check up and I am ashamed to say during those three years, I gained 80 lbs.

Dietician During Major Weightloss?
I have a little over 100lbs to lose, and have a strongly renewed interest in getting to a healthy weight following a recent health scare.

Simply lose weight
Calculating calories of intake is the only way to stay fit for me. It is FAR MORE productive than calculating exercise calories expended. I am 90 lbs lower than 24 years ago because of this consistent, daily practice.
