OK, so I have finally started the diet that I have long been delaying. I had begun to tip the scales at about 183 at the highest points. The days of my eating whatever I want and not gaining weight have ended. My goal is to get back to 165, the weight I was at when I got married.
Here is my method: I am using a free website called thedailyplate.com. I enter everything I eat into the website. It has a search tool where it will pull up the nutritional value of each item. It will total the calories, fat, carbs, etc and match it as a percentage to your daily goal. I am attempting to eat a balanced 2100 calories a day. I do this only on my work days (Tuesday through Friday). I also combine this with a tough 45 minute workout. On the days I am not working, I eat whatever I want, but I attempt to eat in moderation.
So far, the results have been great. In about two weeks, I have dropped down to 176. Time will tell if I can reach my goal and stick to the diet. Wish me luck!
