  • Thank you all for the advice and suggestions. So I want to lose another 10 pounds then switch over to maintenance, but until then how many calories would you suggest me netting? It's just scary cause I have not been eating over 1500 total usually but I am sure you all are right. Because I have been trying to up my exercise…
  • I definitely had days where I would eat more, but not too often and many more days where I would eat between the 1200 and 1500. I had a few vacations and switched to maintenance and it said I could eat 2000 calories. I never got close to that and still gain if I go over even a few hundred.
  • I am also a chocolate addict. :) I have found something that works for me. I buy Hershey kisses and usually always keep them around. That way I don't feel deprived and when I crave it (which most of the time is every day) I will eat 3 or 4 and that usually helps. That way I am not eating a whole candy bar, cake, etc.
