First step to losing weight is seeing about how many calories you consume in a day.  The best way to do that is to create a food journal.  Just record everything you eat and total up your calories, I bet you’ll be shocked how much you mindlessly eat.  Guilty.  I know how much it helps me be aware of what I’m consuming.  Now that you’ve been enlightened your consumption, now just see where you can make improvements and cut out the unneeded calories.  I found that when I was a personal trainer the clients that diligently gave me their food journals saw the best results.  80% of you getting to your ideal weight is what you put in your mouth.  Yes, start your food journal today.
