    Good work on the recent weightloss. Use the app, input your weight periodically and the app will track you. You can check the app for your progress and you can see a graph that shows your trend. As long as you trend down over a period of time that is what you want. There will always be ups and downs but you want to trend downward over a period of a few months. By the end of the year you'll be in great shape! You look to be put together already and you may be right, getting below 200 is going to be tough. I bet you could make 190 but you're going to lose some of that beef to get there. Losing your last 15-20 pounds is always the hardest and takes the most work. Most bodies, especially the ones that are used to carrying extra pounds throughout life almost revolt against you and the body does what it can to hold onto that weight. I think it's some kind of instinctive survival thing. You may have to buy the full app and go all out with your macro levels and get really stingy about everything you eat and watch the calories. The fat I couldn't remember was called Visceral Fat, it's the deep fat that's really hard to get rid of. Bodybuilders diligently track stuff to "cut" for their bodybuilding shows. I have a friend who is a champion bodybuilder and he's a flat out monster of a guy but he's also only 5'4". He pretty much lives on chicken and supplements for months leading up to a show. It can't be healthy but that is the only way he can get his abs to pop. If you aren't naturally a bean pole and under the age of 18 it probably isn't going to happen anyways, we just have to be reasonable with our situation.

    Thanks man! You've been a huge help! Yeah I'm not looking for body builder type body. Just mainly trying to get rid of some extra chest fat mostly and a little bit of stomach fat. I need to get in a routine with using this app..

    If my goal on this app is 3,100 calories a day, am I supposed to consume as close to that number in one day or am I just not to exceed that amount in a day?

    So I'm supposed to eat as close to 3,160 calories as I can?
    I've scanned everything I eat on a day to day basis and I've been like 1500 calories low everyday? So that means I have to eat more??
