I too have had a goal to drop weight. I am working out far more than ever before, but I still find that if I let my diet slip, the pounds come back on.

Last week 5 lbs. So I believe the word is discipline, maintaining the exercise level while following whatever diet you are using.

I am sure there are differences in diets, but losing weight seems to come down to two things Calories Consumed and Calories Burned in a day. What ever mean you use to control it will be fine as long as you are consistent.

Best of luck to you, keep us posted...

Good luck! Just remember a couple of things. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water everyday 64+oz a day. You really need to keep track of everything you eat and how many calories you burn during your workouts. I use the food & workout Journal for this. ON the food journal i made my own custom food list by taking everything i eat in the house and inputing everything in. It took a little while but worth it because it give you a more auccurate reading. Try to come up 500-800 calories short each day. In the food journal it will add up all your cal. you ate and subtract your cal burned during your workout plus your BMR.

Good Luck and stay motivated!!
