in Introduce Yourself
I've been on and off the site for 3 weeks, and I think I'm gonna stick with it this time. Even my boyfriend is helping out and planning meals adjusted to my calorie counting.
Today is the first time Ever that I have ended the day with calories left over - I am usually 100-200 over. Yea!

    i find it easier to actually plan my meals in advanced and log them BEFORE i eat them. that way i know how many calories i ate and not have a huge surprise when i log it afterward and it was exactly what i didn't need.:bigsmile:

    thanks for the advice. Thats a great idea. Wow the last few days have been a real eye opener as to why Im overweight. I always thought I ate really healthy, but It is the portions that were killing me. Until I started this I never realized how many extra calories I was consuming. Everythign from olive oil to rice. I sure hope I can be like many of you out there and find success by applying myself and reading the fine print on the things I "used " to think were healthy. Heres to losing 40 lbs for good.
