  • I was saying this exact thing to my wife the other day. I will say this, though, I know this approach works...I am living proof of it. I have tried for years to slim down, and felt really helpless. But these past two months on here, logging my food and exercise, and being honest with myself, has changed my life. Hang in…

  • It does get easier....the first three days I felt like my stomach was eating itself from the inside out. It took every bit of will power I could muster to make it through. But it's a lot easier now. And you are spot on....recording what I eat is the only way I would be able to keep on track. I'm hoping that after awhile,…
