    Funny how exercise never seems to be the key for me for losing weight. Sure, we all know exercise burns calories and boosts metabolism. And I do work out a lot. But for me, calorie intake is the key factor.

    In any case, we're here for you!

    Yes I know I'm just cheating myself thinking its only exercise I need to do! Just counted my cals today and it's amazing how they get taken really quickly! So fingers crossed this counting calories may do the trick ! Thanks for the support

    Remember that not all calories are the same. For example, 160 calories of almonds, is not the same as 160 of ice cream.

    Keeping an honest food diary is the only thing that works for me too. I also gym 4-5 days a week :)

    Don't forget that if you are strength training in the gym, you may not see the scale move because you are building muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. I suggest getting a body composition test done so you can measure your progress more accurately. You are doing the right thing!
