    I see a nutritionist and it has really helped. He took a complete read of my body on that fancy scale, and it says my metabolism is only 1700. That's because I'm 58, and as we get older our metabolism goes down. So it would be good if you can get you exact metabolism and reduce the calorie intake according to that number.

    For a 'cut-to-the-chase' on the nutritionist, just think logically. Eat healthy, no processed food, no drive-thrus, protein and veggies are best, and cut the carbs. Having said that, just focus on healthy eating and portion control. I recently cut unnecessary carbs (hamburgers without buns, no more toast or bagels etc.) and have lost a couple more inches in my waist, but sometimes carbs are okay, like when I can't resist sushi. giggle

    I don't eat my exercise calories unless I'm totally hungry. I don't do well if I eat them, but this is probably because of my age. Hang in there, you'll hit your stride :~)
