I'm new and am very surprised with the calorie count

salasserrano

I just started this and I am very surprised of all the calories that are consumed daily!! I have never counted my calories, so just my first day (yesterday) I was surprised how much food can be consumed when not really paying attention!! No wonder I can't loose weight how I want to. This is going to help me figure out what I need to do to reach my weight loss goal and I am happy my friend introduced me to this. This will be a good tool to help me reach my goal of maybe 20lbs?? My goal is to be 20lbs thinner by mid Feb.

I'm newer too and I was just as surprised!!! This is my first time counting and most of mine were from pepsi. Since I started counting i don't drink pepsi and I'm already losing alot! Good luck and stay strong and you'll make it!!

Thanks.I know we will all make it, and yes there will be weak days, but that is okay. Let's just keep focused and keep going.

I KNOW HUH!? I had initially thought I was one of those people in starvation mode! Then you start REALLY COUNTING! What an eye opener huh!

I completely agree. I had no idea how much I was eating as far as calories until I started using this site. Kind of puts it in perspective for me. Good luck and best wishes!!!

Start drinking NOTHING BUT water.. adn watch how fast you lose a good chunk of weight! i started drinking nothing but water adn lost about 12 lbs in less then a month. people eat good but dont realize how many calories they are actually drinking... =] just thought i would share a tip that helped me alot

Yep, you don't really realize how badly you eat until you analyze every little thing you put in your mouth! :grumble:

I'm not exactly new here, but I was shocked when I first started. I was able to just make a few changes that took off weight without trying. Now, I have to try harder, but I lost 20 lbs in a little less that a year.

Good luck!
