I've cut out a lot of "bad" food, but I certainly don't eat like my hyper-fit wife does. ;-) I really love food. :-D Codefox,

I track my diet now with Vida One's Diet & Fitness on my PC (and I use the Vida One MyPersonalDiet on my Wing. A bit of an eye openner how many calories are in some foods and how unbalanced overall my diet was. I haven't made wholesale changes in my diet. I don't believe in that. But I have adjusted how I eat based on the tracking of food since now I'm fully of aware of what's going in. I think that's a huge part of the weight loss. Even with running I wouldn't be losing weight (or at least not nearly as effectively) if I kept eating all the junk I was eating! Have you adjusted your diet at all?

That's excellent. In terms of my weight loss, I suppose it's possible - actual measurements and body fat percentage calculations weren't done until last week when I had the assessment with my trainer. But most of my excess fat it on my stomach, so if I'd lost weight from there I'd notice. ;-) I think about a month from now I'll notice bigger changes. Codefox,

Muscle is so much more dense that you could very well be evening it out right now.

I had started running a couple weeks before your gym stuff. On my cruise I kept running and did a 5 miler :) Running 3 - 4 times per week right now with my shorter runs around 4 miles and the longer runs @ 5...though looking for 6 soon! Also doing tennis once a week...hopefully soon to be twice :) (I have been a bit more successful on the weight front...down from 190 to about 177 in two months of running as of today. The first goal was to get to 170 but I think since I'm so active now I'll aim for 165!) I haven't been able to get into the Gym thing though. I run by LA Fitness every day that I run but I just don't think I'd enjoy it. (Of course I hate running too...so I tell everyone... ;) ) Doing great man!
