    Confused a bit with what I'm actually suppose to be doing...I no that might sound strange but I no that I'm counting my calories etc but I am suppose to be cutting back on anything in particular? I've cut out pretty much all carbs, I'm
    Not having any soft drink, Lollies and biscuits and I'm eating alot healthier...am I Doing it right, or is there another way to drop these kgs (also with excersising of course) ? And am I suppose to eat the exact amount of calories given for the day or does it matter if I leave some over? thanks all...all your stories are very inspiring :-)

    I had to consult with a nutritionalist and Dr about this..only to realize maybe a registered dietitian would be better
    I've been on a month...run about 15 miles a week (depending on my long run) and have not lost anything....so I need to consult with a professional. Come to find out I am Vita D low...which inhibits weight loss.....more learning and changing to do.

    so....consult a registered Pro on that...I am told I need to eat MORE!

    I have been at this for 2 weeks and I don't think I've lost anything yet. I'm working out and eating the right way in the right amounts. I'm getting discouraged. Can someone PLEASE give me advice!

    My total calories say I've burned or shorted over 8000 cal. I should have lost at least 2 lbs. Nothing. I am wondering if the calorie intake takes into account age. I'm 44 so if I look at a cookie I gain. That's what they say right? I work out every day (400 cal) and eat about 1400 cal a day. Some sugar, but otherwise decent. Interesting to see the post below talking about vit D . hmm thoughts?

    I have just started this on wednesday and have been working out everyday so far and I've lost a total of 2.5 lbs. I'm super excited and at first I was craving chocolate but now I'm so motivated I don't even want to touch it. My only problem is I don't eat meat except chicken. And I'm curious if that is going to effect my weight loss or health and no I can't stand fish or Hamm or anything except chicken so if any one has any tips or advice it would e awesome to get some feedback. Thanks :)

    Hi. I started this on Tuesday and I am excited since I don't know how to count my calorie intake , however I am not eating all the calories that I'm supposed to eat because I'm afraid I'm eating the wrong thing . I am also feeling pretty full most of the time I am exercising but I am not sure if by not meeting the calorie daily it will affect my weight loss. I still yet to weigh myself I will be doing that on Monday to see if I have lost some
    weight this week

    Congrats :D
    I've been doing this for a week and I'm always under my calorie goal. That is I eat around 1000 calories and burn 500 daily
    Do my net calories everyday are around 500 calories and I don't feel hungry to eat more
    So is that a very unhealthy calorie intake?? Suggestions please :D.

    without knowing your stats we can't say for sure whether that is unhealthy or not. But generally, assuming no other conditions besides weight, 500 calories is an extremely low total for an adult of normal height and activity level.

    I just had back surgery n have been bed ridden/home ridden for about a Mth. I took this opportunity to try to lose the 30lbs I've gained. So far I'm down 19... But now I'm stuck... I hit a plateau... :/ what should I do? How can I achieve my goal weight? I know I need to incorporate exercise but I can't do that just yet...

    Two weeks ago I talked to a dietitian, I only seen her once .: and I think two weeks is such a long time to wait because I was eating good, healthy. eating my fruits and veggies like she wanted me to. during the two weeks, we ended up moving & I started eating lots. keeping in mind that I do have another appointment with her coming up. I am disappointed in myself because I really want to lose the weight. I am 195lbs, and I'm 5 foot 2. which is below average, by a couple of inches. so I should roughly weigh about 105 pounds. I do want to lose 90 pounds.. AND I am determined. I really do hope I can get to the weight I want, so I can feel better about myself. I can't even stand looking at myself in the mirror. so, if anyone knows if this is accurate please let me know. thanks :)

    Lose weight with diet alone? Or diet and exercise? You decide.

    I'm new to this site and I was wondering do you just eat what you want as long as it's under your calories or do you eat healthy as well??

    Try it see if it works for you. I just count calories and eat what I like. I eat bread, chocolate and all that everyday.. don't exercise except walking places... yeah I know it's not nutritious but I'm losing still :)

    Hi all, just started this 2 days ago, even though I joined last year :-/. I'm confused. I have between 400-700 "Calories Remaining" at the end of the day because I exercise. My daily goal was set at 1200 cals. Am I supposed to eat more than 1200 cals when I exercise?? My understanding is to stop at 1200 and whatever is leftover , helps me lose weight, so to speak. Please clarify for me. Thnx!!
