Hi team

So I just completed my first week of counting and I lost 5 lbs!!! Starting weight was 232 and I am at 227!! I did not do anything different just counted as accurately as possible and kept with my regular exercise routine (usually run 3-4 miles every morning) so happy becaus this is something that I can easily maintain. Just had a quick question for you veteran users. Now that my weight changed do I after to adjust my calories again? Or just stick to it for a month?

    Great job! It's good that you're already going for strategies that you can maintain long term. As far as your calorie count, I usually adjust every 10 pounds or so, as that's usually enough to actually make a difference in the overall calorie count, like 40-50 calories or so.
