With the help of calorie tracking and expenditure web-based software Graphite online I have broken into the 240′s.  Down from 285 lbs. in December of ’08 I am dropping pounds and entering into new territory.  My physical training has remained consistant, but keeping track of what I consume has been the game changer.  I have developed better habits and am more conscience of what I put down the hatch.

Keys to success:

-reduced calories (recording daily what I eat)

-increased protein

-consistent strength and conditioning training
