@Suein and @kommodevaran thank you, I'm thinking will power and habits go hand and hand don't they? You need to develop will power to be able to make exercising a habit? Thanks so much for your thoughts! I'd love hear what others think too?

Thanks funchords...I meant body fat percentage...oops! I really appreciate all the thoughts folks...it seems like portion control is the major issue. Though I'd say patience and positive thinking are really important to long-term success... Thanks! Mike
