Yes, you can lose weight without counting calories, but that's like riding a bike from point A to point B without using a map or GPS. Why reject of of the most helpful, revealing tools in a weight loss kit?
Also, picking February 1 instead of today reminds me of those folks who decide to start their new lives January 1 because they want to live their old life for a few more days. Why wait?
You nailed it man, i want to enjoy the old me a few more days first before commiting. A few more days eating the bad stuff one more time. But i will not, my new goal now is tuesday. Have to buy some walking shoes as all i ever wear is boots. Thanls Neil.
