Hi Moon, congratulations! Best advice I can offer is don't look too far down the road, keep your goals short and attainable.

You would eat less calories than you exercise IN ADDITION to your calorie goal. The most common comment seems to be to eat half your exercise calories, so in your case, if you burned 400 calories in exercise, you'd consume 1200 calories (goal) + 200 calories (1/2 your exercise) for a total of 1400 calories. Hope that helps.

I hear ya, I feel ya, I sympathize, and would have summarized my position at the start of this. But, I'm also going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week now and yes, it's cardio. A few thoughts for you. I started out in September and to date I'm 74 lbs. down. You don't need to exercise to lose weight, as others have said fewer…

Either a bowl of spoon size shredded wheat with bran (2oz), 1 cup skim milk and 4oz fat free cottage cheese, or two poached omega 3 eggs with two slices whole grain toast. After my cardio I have 1/2 a grapefruit.
