Two months ago I gave up 99% of processed sugar. I make sure I eat breakfast now and I've also been using my fitness pal. I'm down 20 pounds without much other effort. I expect to lose a lot more now that the weather is warmer and I can get out on my road bike.
I'm sticking my toe back in the water with weight training. It's been a long time. I'm finding the right club and I'll probably need to work with a trainer a few times to figure out what to do.
