in Introduce Yourself
Sounds really stupid, but.
I have filled in the details for myself and the calorie amount is approx 1500 for the day.
I just log my foods and don't go over this and should loose a pound ish a week. It just sounds too simple. I'm not eating my activity calories as I haven't wanted them yet.

I am over thinking this?

    nope, that's basically it.

    it's an estimate though. just give it time. log your food accurately, and watch for results.

    Thank you,
    Sounds really thick for a 47yr old serial dieter!

    not really. a lot of folks come here after having tried all sorts of other pre-packaged "diet" plans.

    it really is this simple. patience and trial and error are all it takes.
