Well, I am 30 years old. I weigh in at 215 on 9/10/11 and now I weighed in at 199.1. I am really excited. Already had my down times. And probably many more. I found this on my phone apps and I truly love how I can scan my food on. I have used this site for the past three days and I wish I had found it when I started my goal. My only thing is, is anyone having any problems meeting their calorie count max per day? I have not changed my eating at all considering I think I eat OK. 3 meals a day and I still can't hit my calorie amount it suggests.. I am always under between 300 and 700 calories. any suggestions?

    Great job at the weight loss. I'm not sure about the calories but there will be plenty of others who have suggestions. I always hit mine and have to try very hard not to go over. So I will leave that question to others who may have experience with that.:smile:

    Welcome!

    i think the calorie goal they give you is too much (in my opinion). It's saying I should have over 1,500 cals a day. But, I WON'T eat that much in a day. You are supposed to have at least 1,200 a day. I generally have either a little less or a little more than 1,200. But, I try really hard not to go over 1,400, and if i ever do, it's like 10-15 over. If you have at least 1,200 daily, you should be fine.

    good luck to you & way to go on how much you have lost so far!! :smile:
