  • Start with 1lb a week. Its all math. Eat less calories and lose weight. Check you BMR under the APP Heading. Thats how many calories it takes you just to breathe and function so go under that amount of calories a day and you will lose it slowly. Thats what it takes to change your food choices to healthy eating. My husband…
  • Im going to TOPS which is an International weight loss organization. Most towns have a chapter or two you can join. Over the past year Ill lost 33.2lbs. Some of the things I do are trying to stay around 1200 calories a day, eating a half of bagel or half of a banana instead of a whole one, eating low cal popcorn, pickles,…

  • Thanks for your replies. Im hoping to get back to some sort of exercise after my back heals. I know there are other benefits to exercise. Ill probably walk during the summer. Not sure what Ill do in cold weather though.

  • I'm in the same boat. Haven't lost any in awhile but not giving up. I'm trying to do a 1000 calories a day but still go over as I haven't got this straight yet with the food counting. I'm 217 and need to get below 200. Just made a strawberry, banana. 2% milk and chocolate protein shake mix smoothie for breakfast. Just used…
  • I'm glad you asked that question because I don't know how much is good for the day either. I'm trying to do 1200-1300 calories a day. Some days are just too hard though. Like kids birthday parties with all the food there. LOL Other than those I do pretty good. Now that I have a ball park figure on fat I can monitor it more…
