    I was pretty shocked when I first started too. I was at 4500 calories easily. Fast Food, TONS of sweet tea. Now I look back and cannot believe I was consuming that many calories, and alot of that disgusting food! Today marks 50 pounds lost for me, and I am never going back!!

    CONGRATS!!!

    Hi Heather. Welcome to the site. I also didn't realize just how much I was eating before I started tracking. It's already been pointed out numerous times in this thread so I won't go into it, but being aware of the nutrition of what you're eating as opposed to JUST calories is very important.

    I wish you all the best in your journey and I hope you meet your goal.

    ive found that if you crave pizza and chips buy diet chips and make homemade pizza - wont taste the same but at least you wont eb left with 200 calories for the day!
    or eat a bit eof damn good pizza and stuff you face with spinach and repeat. until you are stuffed off of one slice and a bag of spinach. and you will still be low on calories for the meal. one whole bag of spinach is juse 40 calories!

    Those are very good changes, congratulations! And your idea of changing by baby steps is excellent.

    I think you will really accomplish this and keep it off.

    Just keep logging everything, food and exercise. After a couple of months it will be a habit, and habits are effortless.

    That's great. I had to take the baby step approach as well. Once you start understanding the properly calorie intake for your weight, height, and age, you will REALLY see the weight melt off. Check out this site, it will give you the proper calorie intake for your measurements: http://www.calorieking.com/

    Tip, if you want to eat more, incorporate excercise for the day. That can earn you 100+ to can eat a day.

    Really well done on the changes you are making. For me I am currently trying to switch my snacks to fruit and make sure I am at the gym 4 times a week
