in Introduce Yourself
Hi. I'm Ann. I've needed to lose 10 - 15 pounds forever and it just won't go away. I don't think I eat too terrible but I must be doing something! Reason I'm here. I'm hoping to really pay attention to calories. Ugh I'm starving!!! I must have been taking in too much. Glad to be here :)

    You're in the right place! I'm just over halfway through my winter 15 lb. The first few weeks are definitely the toughest, just do what you need to do to make the deficit and hit the macro percentages.

    Hi I am sandie. I find that 1200 calories is too much for me. I don't know why, obviously I ate more than that to have to loose 35 more pounds. What am I doing wrong? I haven't exercised or been to the gym since last Friday, the trainer at the gym had me on NO CARBS NO SUGAR NO SALT NO DAIRY AND NO FRUIT. I dropped 6 pounds in a week but I feel I have put a few back on since switching to the 1200 cal a day and tracking. I don't go over my calories, but I tend to go over in categories, like the protein or sugar categories. It must be a good plan, because I translated the calories into ww " points" and it is the exact amount of calorie/ points I was using a few years ago on ww. So its not the diet, what am I doing wrong?

    That sounds disgusting! Ask for a new trainer.

    Just eat what you want and count your dang calories.

    Do you use a food scale and weigh all of your food and log it accurately with correct values? You might be eating more than you think. It is very likely if you do not use a food scale.
