Working towards healthier habits

I had Weight-Loss Surgery in 2005 (after reaching my highest weight of 315 lbs), and lost about 140 pounds (down to 175).

Currently, I have lost over 70 lbs since August 8, 2011. Ultimately, it's been about eating less and exercising more, but the devil is in the details. I write ...

Currently, I have lost over 70 lbs since August 8, 2011. Ultimately, it's been about eating less and exercising more, but the devil is in the details. I write down everything I eat, and track it on sparkpeople most days. I have made exercise a priority, and actually enjoy it now!

Eventually, I want to get down to 145 and have my BMI under 25.
