I worked out three or four times a week for an hour and kept strictly to about 1600 calories a day, avoiding pasta, bread, and beer

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. We can do this!

It's hard to do when someone else makes you do it. It needs to come from your own heart. But I will say that I started working out 5 times a week in mid January as well as watching what I eat. I feel great - better than I've felt in a very long time. I have strength and energy and I've lost 18 pounds so far. So if you want…

I've been told that if I eat into the calories I burned it will slow my weight loss. I try not to get into those - but if I work out for an hour or so and burn off 600 calories, and eat 100 of them I am happy with that. I've lost 16 pounds since January 17th. I am trying to escalate my weight loss so I am working out more…

My calorie goal is 1580 calories. With the workout (and the exercise is really important), I have managed to lose 16 pounds since January 17th. I can't imagine trying to make it on 1,000 calories.

Just wanted to take time to say thanks to everyone who welcomed me to this community. Peace Dave

I find that Sunday is the most difficult day. I can't go work out that day. And Yesterday was tough too - but I did manage to stay under my calorie goals.
