In reply to Fred Mast.Thanks, Fred. It is easier now than it was, but holiday season always creates a blip upwards.

Good work, John. I’ve been losing and gaining the same 20 pounds for 30 years. Your success in inspiring. I’ll let you know how it goes, but only if I succeed.

In reply to karenrsanderson.That's right. Eat less and move more. Today I hiked 5.5 miles. Little sore but feel good for the exercise.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I think it’s basically ‘eat less, move more.’ That’s what I started several years ago and I’m proud to say I’m just 10 lbs heavier than my high school weight – and that was 42 years ago! It’s so easy to put on a couple here, a couple there, and before you know it you’re 25 (or more) pounds overweight. I eat well Monday – Thursday and then eat what I want on Friday. Weekends I try to be good, but don’t sweat it if I eat poorly. And I walk 15+ miles a week (Monday to Friday, three miles a day). I also tap dance, and dancing is the fun way to maintain a healthy weight! Kudos to you, John. Keep up the good work!

Yay! I can’t agree with your prognosis more. The health, fitness & diet industries have flooded people with so many crackpot “diets” that complicate the equation and cause general confusion. For example: Breakfast is somehow more important than other meals or bread is the most evil thing ever, Atkins, haha or frickin’ weight watchers affixing some arbitrary numeric fitness # no one knows how or where it came from. Like you said it’s easy; burn more calories than you consume. Boom. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. Congratulations & awesome you thought to use these new tech, apps & your phone for serious weight loss & fitness! A thousand year journey starts with a step! Well played Pops!
