Today's stats: (Dec 31)

9 pounds in 4 weeks and an inch off my waist. I also checked my other measurements and saw that for the most part they remained the same. I lost half inch off chest and hips while my arms and legs remained the same.
I started out really gung ho and probably made my biggest losses in the first week and then slowly tapered off and get less strict about my daily intake each week.
All in all, I am happy with my results and how I did it. I managed to not really give up foods that I love and found ways to eat more tuna than I normally would have. My workouts never really suffered and I am stronger today than I was 4 weeks ago. I am also visibly more vascular, which was one of the first things I started noticing.
So, whats next? I am definitely going to take a mental break for a week or two from counting every calorie I ingest. Though I dont think I will eat much different. And I am definitely going to stick to my workout routine. Who knows, I may even do more cardio, but probably not.
I appreciate all the posts and discussion that popped up in this thread as well as all the others that helped keep me on track. I have a feeling there may be another thread like this in my future.
