Dropping some weight & increasing fitness

[firffighter]

Well, I think I will stick with the old "well-balanced" meals plan and eat smaller portions and eat 5 small meals a day rather than the big 3. Seems to work pretty well for me as I am sticking at the 15-20 lbs. dropped point so far.

I have cut out empty carbs, late night deserts and my big weakness: chips

I have also conquered a 12 year addiction to diet coke. Been off for 3 weeks now and am just drinking water, lemonade, milk, OJ.

Gotta get more serious about exercise as it has been hit and miss with a busy schedule, but I think I can drop some serious lbs. if I get consistent.
