Hello everyone, figured this website would help me keep track of my activity. Especially because I forsee the little notebook I am currently using, falling apart.

I am exercising when possible due to my busy schedule (1-3 times per week, although I wouldn't call myself sedentary by any means, but I could work out more.) My main activity/strategy is counting calories and fat intake.

I have been going strong and easy for 5 days so far and have already lost 6 pounds!

My plan is to limit fat and calorie intake to 1200 Calories and 27 fat grams. I have been averaging about 1230 cal and 20 fat grams per day so far without any difficulty.

I am currently about 270lbs with a fairly muscular physique. I am trying to get down to about 190lbs.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some motivational stories and/or infromation regarding this journey I am embarking on (i.e. successes and failures, what to do and what to steer clear of)

Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone in their battles!

    Welcome to the site. This site is a great tool to learning better eating habits and meeting your goals. I am a long way from my goals but it has helped me come closer.

    Best of luck
