Set Your Goal and TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!

I have wanted to lose weight for 11 years but never took it SERIOUSLY! I was approaching my 50th birthday when it hit me---do you REALLY want to be overweight when you turn 50? { BOTH my parents had died in their 50s} .Granted,I exercise more than anyone ever did in my family,

MORE INFORMATION:
but had stopped on a REGULAR BASIS.All my other siblings had stopped on a regular basis,too and the family history was staring me in the face.So, since I have been logging EVERY BITE and EVERY EXERCISE, my wt. has gone steadily down{and my cholestrol!},just because I took my goal SERIOUSLY! Do you?

Record every bite

I know it's tediouis, but log every single bite you eat on the nutrition tracker. You'd be surprised how much those bites add up. I started doing this and found out I was regularly consuming about 500 more calories per day than I thought! Even if it's one cracker, two chips, one taste of cookie dough..log everything!!
