I'm a family guy who wants to lead by example.
I quit smoking 4 years ago. In the past two years I've become much more active (running,cycling, and the gym) and I've toned up, but not lost the amount of body fat I would of expected for all this effort.
Counting calories, carbs / proteins has helped me understand how to make better food choices. Now I'm very happy with my energy level and finally some weight loss!
