    Hi,I am here because loosing weight is such a struggle alone.I want to communicate with others who have the same problem that I have and understand how I feel about the weight issue.I have spent my whole life tring to loose weight. I have gotten stuck on my weight loss journey .I did weigh 363 lbs. in 1995.I had the gastric bypass surgery done then and after three years i had to have it reversed because the ring was too tight and I still had to peree everything.So started to eat junk food again because I went down very easy.I had lossed about 100 lbs before I started all of the wrong foods that was easy to go down.I gained about 50 lbs. back before the reversal. The ryn was done in1998.Then I was able to eat meats again and every ting ,nothing had to be pereed again. I eat healthy most of the time but I do have a treat once oin a while. I try to exercise when my health allows 3 days a week.I have lost a total of 154 lbs. and want to loose at least 25 more.

    I have just started this on Wednesday and at first I didn't think it was going to work because my will power is no good unless I see improvement. I try to push my self and exercise 2 hrs during the week but I find it hard because I broke my back when I was 17 and I have a bad knee. Walking even bothers it but I pushed my self so hard I lost 2.5 lbs and I'm addicted. I think my wake up call was I got on a scale Tuesday and realized I have gained 30 lbs since me and my fiancée had met. That's when I decided its time to start losing weight. I've always been on the chubby side and I'm just excited to reach my goal even though I still have 38 lbs to go. So If anyone has any good reciepes that don't include any other animal besides chicken that's b great because salads are getting old fast

    1200 is the number it gives you to have a calorie deficit and promote healthy weight loss. As a rule of thumb my wife and I do not eat all the calories we are allowed each day. You will also notice that as you workout and add it to your daily dairy that you earn calories. I for example am allowed 2100 caloric intake per day. I strength train 5 days a week, I do not put those calories against my daily exercise burn. I do however track all my cardio exercising and place that against my daily intake. It is good to always leave a little leeway in the daily intake. I hope that this helps.

    Seeing your calorie intake is a shocker if you notice from the food you used to eat. I added a wendy's value meal since I ate them like every other day. It was 900 Calories...whoa! complete shocker....LOL

    Hey new to this site started the iPod app back in March. I've been working out about half an hour a day for five days. I've also been adding my foods to this app and I've lost 15 pds so far. Just read on here you should try and "eatback" your exercise calories so I'll be trying that this week.

    My nutrition teacher recommended this to me. I'm inthe navy, so being fit is very important, and is something that I struggle with. I weigh 160 and the navy needs me at 141 or better. Hopefully staying honest with myself by using this will help.
