I used to have a really active job so I never had to watch what I ate as I always burned it off. But then I got a desk job, I used to eat the same amount of calories but with no physical activity and the pounds piled on! I agree the nutrition info on this site is a real eye-opener as I would have never even thought about…

Hi! I have a photo of what I will look like when I reach my goal on my desk so I see it everyday. Place reminders where you see them and they will push you to keep going. Also having a buddy to help you along is great. I dont know how I would do it without my gym buddy!
