Trying again

I'm trying to drop 20 pounds using the fitness pal calculator which seems much like weight watchers. In fact, most of my meals are Smart Ones, which is a weight watchers product. Started three weeks ago at 237 lbs. now 230 lbs. Not too bad. Trying 1600 calories a day when minimum 2000 calories is needed for adult man according to U.S. govt.
For first time, today I busted my calorie intake when I mistakenly ate a yogurt parfait thinking it was same as yogurt. Not quite! Parfait cost me 320 calories :(. I did Nutri System a year ago and lost a lot of weight. The low calorie intake was not sustainable for me. So, I'm trying what I hope will be a more livable food plan which will let me lose weight although at a slower pace. That's my story...new to this board. Les

    Hello, I just read your post. I am considering ordering a Nutri-system plan because I am recovering from a broken knee and the weight loss would be quite beneficial. Can you please share more information about your experiences regarding the plan. If I intend to start the plan and transition to my recipes, is this realistic?
