Hello again! Some more details from me, agree or not, we all have our own ways. I love fitbit along with myfitnesspal. It will tell you how many more calories you burned off than took in. I shoot for 1000 calorie deficit per day. I do not always make it but any deficit is better than none. I have lost over 150 pounds since 2010. A lot of trial and error and also knowing I am an individual and have to find what works for me and NOT criticize others for their ways. We all have different metabolisms and are different weights and ages. Some have had stomach stapling and can not eat as much as others, some have tried diet pills ect. It is for us to support one another in love, and together success does come. I normally shoot for around 1200 per day, some days I am over some under depending on what I eat. If high in proteins it takes a lot longer for my body to digest it. I go to my doctor for check ups and he is a nutritionist who wrote a weight loss book and he also has groups for weight loss. I do not attend this as I do things a bit differently, but he has told me for the past 7 years just to keep doing whatever I am , as my numbers are all terrific, I have a nice slow steady weight drop each year and I am in terrific health with no medications now. I was on 5 in 2010, through eating right and exercise now on none. But moral is we are all different so number of calories for one is not always what another can have. I exercise 5 times per week at the pool 60 minutes minimum, and get a minimum of 6500 steps on my fitbit. With this and a 1200 or so intake of food I lose about 3-4 pounds per month on average. That is my two cents.
