  • It does depend mostly on where you live, what you are buying, and what stores you shop at. Our household spends about $200-$300 a week on food on average for 5 people. This is getting a good portion of our stuff on sale, price-matching when available, and non-organic produce. Living in Canada, a good chunk of our produce…

  • You are more than half way to your goal! And if you don't hit your goal, don't sweat it. Be happy with the progress you have made! :) Everyone is different, and I think you have been doing great! Remember to keep that chin up and keep at it.

  • It definitely isn't worth it, health wise (thats not even talking about the extra cost of something like that). I'd definitely stay above 1200. (I'm not sure what your weight is, but I have started this time at around 1600 calories and I am obese as well) After the last time I wanted to give myself more room to cut back…

  • Have you been decreasing your calorie amount since you started loosing weight? And have you been switching the types of foods you eat or have your meals been pretty consistent where you're eating the same foods every day? And have you been keeping an eye on your sodium? From my past experiences with weight loss these were…
    in 3 weeks no weightloss Comment by Diesyable March 2016
  • About 5 or so years ago I was in the same situation as you (I have been struggling with my weight for well over 15 years by now). During one of my most successful attempts at calorie counting I was supposed to start around 1600/1700 calories but I found that this seemed to be way too much for me and I just was not loosing…
