I walk every hour for about 10 min maybe. I work at a desk job so I would consider that sitting on my butt all day not being active. Lol so far today I have done 3,000 steps.

I want to lose at least 40-50 lbs. I am testing out how the 1560 goes. The 1280 seemed a bit too low for me.

Changed it to lightly active and calories have gone up to 1560 per day. I will try this out and see how well it goes. Thank you all for your thoughts.

Ok I will try that out. I will change it to lightly active. :) thank you for the encouragement.

I would fail if I tried that. I wouldn't be able to keep to 1000-1100 cals and work out every other day.

I would like to join in on the journey :)

I appreciate everyone's input

I have already found the answers to why I couldn't stick it out before. Right now I am asking for advise to make sure I do it right this time, not asking for people to tell me to look at why I wasn't successful the first time... I have already gotten past that point.

I couldn't stick it out due to work stress. Now that stress has lightened up, I am more prepared than before.

That's exactly why I was asking. If it isn't going to make much of a difference, then I won't drop that 80 calories.

I wasn't able to stick with it the last time due to work stress. It is still stressful at work, but after having tubular adenomas in my intestines and gaining ten lbs in the last two months, I am tired of feeling so gross and unhealthy. I am prepared now to commit to it.

Always have water on hand. Every time I think of soda, I take a sip of water. Make sure to do this every time and within a few days you will not have cravings. Also tea helps a lot!

I completely agree, it was just a generalized statement. I have a great support at home, I live with my boyfriend and he decided to help support me by exercising with me everyday. :smile:

I need to lose a total of 60lbs, I think 10lbs per month until June is possible for my 40lb goal. I have colon health issues my Dr's want me to get to at least a max weight of 155-165. I'm 25, 5'9 and weigh 216 lbs.

If anyone has any recipe tips for successful weight loss or any excise plans that work, comment or ads as friend and let's work together to make ourselves better! :)
