Everyone keeps talking about the deficit. What is that and how do I know what mine is?

Thank you Cheshirecat for the article. That clears things up and answered the questions I had.

@jemhh - thank you for your response. I wasn't sure if there were certain exercises I could do to help shrink my belly.

Thank you to those who gave helpful answers. For those of you men who gave smart-*kitten* answers, I don't need them.

Thanks for all the replies. I know I have a whey protein shake and a couple other tubs of shakes that my husband has bought at one time or another. I'm doing kettlebell workouts to lose weight and tone my muscles. I have my settings at losing 2 lbs a week so I'm allowed 1200 calories.

Some things I read say to eat back the calories and other things I read say not to. It's so confusing. I will not eat them this week and see what happens. Thanks for the replies.

Hi! I have a similar story as yours. I had two babies in two years and need to lose about 85 lbs. I'd love to be your buddy so we can do this together!
