I'm 285 now my daily goal at 2 lbs per week it's set to 1700 as sedentary since I use Fitbit and let it add any extra calories. (if you use Fitbit eat 50% or 40% of those earned calories back). I was eating all my…

  • My body leans more to Endomorphic type body so for me a low carb diet works better (I'm carb sensitive). I eat unrefined carbs. I have been cycling my carbs: 3 days low, and one day high. So far i have a steady weight loss of 2+ lbs a week. In my humble opinion If you love your pasta, and you are managing your weight the…
