Losing Weight with Starscream

I am on a program of sorts, reduced calories and managed eating. It isn't so much as counting calories as learning portion sizes and food mixes.

The basis for not just calorie counting is that statistically while it is a great way to lose weight you are destined to fail at maintaining so I am teaching myself how to eat.......intellectually I know how its the habitual part that is a killer. If you count calories it is always a situation where that is only till your goal is met then you stop counting and slowly progress back to where you were (or at least in my case)

I have lost weight so many times it is actually ridiculous..........I am an awesome weight loser and a horrible weight maintainer, trying to change that. (I figure over 42 years I have lost close to 400lbs how is that for the ultimate Yo Yo)

Along with that I am training pretty hard I will do between 3.5 to 6 hours of Cardio a week and weight training 5 days a week as well.

I am trying to reduce my carbs but mostly through better choices for bulk for calories.

Very true. I am counting calories, but also monitoring fat, carbs, protein, sodium, cholesterol, fiber, calcium, and vitamins. I'm using the tracker at nutrimirror.com right now. It works great for me, but not so well for others that I know.

Keep up the good work, Shawn!
