Am I the only one who still try's to stay below the recommended caloric needs? I don't know why but the closer I get even if I'm way off I mentally panic...
Anyone the same way?

    I'm the exact same way. Although it doesn't help that when I tried to eat more, I gained weight. I guess if it works and if it stays off though, I'm not about to stop eating less than recommended.

    I made my calorie goal lower than they had originally put it because I felt they just gave me WAY too many calories, even for my weight... I shoot to get as close to my own goal as possible, but I don't freak out if I go a tiny bit over because I know I lowered it and I could still potentially lose if I eat slightly over it from time to time :)

    Right I mean I'm a big believer in the fact that we all lose weight differently, so I guess if it's working for me I should keep at what im doing, as long as I remain doing it in a healthy manner

    Yeah Regina I feel they are giving me a but too much maybe I should lower it just a bit, and learn to relax if I go just a bit over :)
    Thanks ladies

    But were trying and were succeeding, and that's all that matters at the end of the day
