I am a 57 year old male, and used to weigh 225 pounds. I want to get down to about 170 pounds.

Here is what I did, aand you would not believe how easy it is...

I got an activity tracker that tracks calories in and calories out.
I set it to lose 1 pound a week.
It automatically deducts from my daily calories enough calories to lose 1 pound a week.
It automatically adds to my calories when I do activities (walking, biking, etc...).
I enter my food when I eat.
It does all the math for me and keeps a running total of how many calories I have left to eat.
If I want to eat more, I do more activities.

I have been following this for over 20 weeks now and have lost over 25 pounds so far. It is so easy to lose a pound a week, it's literally pathetic how easy it is. I weigh myself every day and log my weight. It varies +/- a pound or two daily, but over the weeks has gone down a pound a week just like it says.

It has also made me become more active. I get at least 10,000 steps in a day, and went out and bought a bicycle and ride as much as I can (in addition to the steps). I turned my desk at work into a standing desk too.

This morning I did a 7.8 mile bike ride and a 3 mile walk at a 4 mph pace. I burned my breakfast and lunch calories off before I even ate them...:).

I can guarantee this will work for anyone who wants to lose weight, and is why I say it's all about calories in, calories out.

You can follow all the flow charts you want and monitor your muscular fluid, and make it all complicated. But if you simply burn more calories than you eat, you WILL lose weight.

Just simple math.

What activity tracker did you buy? Thinking about fit bit. Is it easy to set so it automatically changes your calories? X
