so i was curious does anyone just calculate their calaories instead of searching for their food on here.....i dont really worry about sodium or carbs or surgars because i go by a strict 1200 cal diet and what i eat isnt really horrible so i was curious does anyone else just count their cals and then excerice whenever and if so how has it been for you how much weight have you lost? thanks

    Not anymore..
    I used to... but decided to actually log for just 2 weeks and see - turns out I was wrong and Over EVERY SINGLE day based on what I "thought" I was eating...
    bought the scale, better measuring spoons and cups and low and behold - I was over on every single meal... Made a HUGE diff to track more accurately - whether you care about EVERY listing or not - It also helped my sodium levels dramatically - found I was eating 4,000 to 6,000 without ever realizing it

    were you over eating on your calories or other stuff because i write down exactly how many calories im eating or drinking but thats pretty easy cause i only drink water

    Most of the time I just calculate calories. I measure and weigh everything then calculate calories based on serving sizes, and I keep an eye on my protein. I exercise everyday, using a heart rate monitor. I'm losing about 2 to 2.5 pounds a week this way, so it's been working for me. Like you, I feel that my meal choices are good (lean meat, veggies, etc) so I don't really add up the sodium, etc. it's working for me!!
