Weightloss

Since Thanksgiving, I’ve lost roughly 13 pounds. I hit my target 170 pounds today. While I know true success is measured by keeping those pounds off, this milestone feels really good.

I’ve “tried” and failed to lose weight in the past many times. “Tried”, in quotes, because I didn’t actually have a strategy. Mind power, I guess? This time has been the only time I’ve effectively lost weight, and I attribute success exclusively to tracking calories.

Want to lose weight too? Use an app like MyFitnessPal to establish a goal, and meticulously track every single calorie you eat. Every single calorie on every single day. I’ve worked out (30+ minutes of cardio) 3 to 6 days per week my entire life, and calorie tracking is the only way I’ve ever lost weight.

Huge props to Albert Sun for helping me realize I can lose weight too.
