    I not only count calories, i have to watch my carb intake, I am diabetic.

    You can add me if you like.

    Well done on losing 50lb so far! What a great job!

    I kinda figured we were all here counting calories. But I guess it's not all about losing weight for some of us :)

    Every last one!! It keeps me busy and stops me thinking about food so much, lol. Seriously I think I have found my maintenance level - been on a plateau for about a month now, gonna get some serious exercising done while the good weather holds!!

    Im almost there myself. many of my family members have that problem and it makes it harder for them. my grandmas bee working with weight watchers for years with no avail. And i think my mother has gotten bad enough that shes become Diabetic too. the hard part with here is that we can count her calories because she dosent eat enough to count. but she just cant stay away from the soda.

    This is MFP. I thought counting calories was the main point of this program. Anyways, I have been very successful counting calories and have been on maintenance for over a year. My advice: count your calories and measure/weigh everything. If you haven't been doing that, you'll be surprised at what real portions/serving sizes look like. :flowerforyou:

    THANKS!!! i actually dont exercise much aside from my chores outside. i found a formula to figure out my BMR and as long as i eat less that hat number i lose. i lose almost 3-4 lba a week and i can eat almost 3000 calories and still be safe. but ive gotten myself set on around 1500 a day.
