| Weight Loss | 38yr old Female, 5'5.5", 171lbs, HOW MANY CALORIES? | Oct 08 2008 06:10 (UTC) |

I ate a late night slice of pizza, I was about 1800 cals or a little more, I can't remember.....I lost a half pound! Then, it caught up with me the next day when I went out to dinner and didn't deprive myself of anything. I am working to get back to that weight. Someone that has recently lost about 30 pounds told me not to count calories, just eat healthy foods and fill up on those, fruits, veg, low fat meats, etc, etc. I told her no way I could do that. I MUST count my calories and account for everything or I will overeat. Just a fact. What I find I am doing lately is guestimating on calories. I need to get back to exact calories on all foods. How is it going with the higher calories, shady71? To be continued......... |

I was told once to fill up on healthy foods. So here are my two favorites for when you're starving (which is my problem at night too. I want to EAT, EAT, EAT!!)
--I often eat one cup of frozen blueberries and top it with a couple large spoonfuls of light Cool Whip. (these are pretty expensive but worth every penny. My whole family eats them everyday. We have for a long time) --Light popcorn This is working for me. |

Well, I again ate over 1700 calories and weighed in at 170. Stayed the same. I was sure that damn scale would be up a couple pounds. I was even slightly over teh 500 calorie difference. But, numbers could be a little off due to the swimming. You never know if I burned that exact amount, or more, or less. I guess I will try the higher calorie for a while and report back.
Thanks Amethyst!
Denelleross, like Amethyst, you are a huge inspiration. Great job on your success. I can reach my goals. |

Interestingly enough......I was at about 1450 calories last night. Was feeling hungry, not growling, but just wanting to EAT at about 8:30. I chose a cup of frozen blueberries with some light cool whip. I ended up around 1750 calories yesterday. I weighed a little earlier this morning and BAM, was down another pound. I just may be eating too little......
But, doesn't that seem to defy logic? I mean, people who eat too little lose weight, you know? People who starve themselves. How could you possibly NOT loss weight if you eat less? Honestly? |

Thank you for the feedback. Jade....what's your average over the last 5 weeks? Have you done an analysis here? 2 pounds? UGH! That would be extremely frustrating too. I would bet you need to average around 1300, but I don't know. Do you lose a little when you are at 1300 or so? I JUST DON'T KNOW!! :)
Amethyst...your weight loss has been slow and steady. Yours is a great progression for me to emulate. Thanks.

I am 38 year old female. 174 pounds. Want to get to 135-140. Counting calories here and trying to keep the food very healthy. I thought I could eat more but I'm thinking about 1400 calories. Not sure exactly. I'll try 1400-1600 to see if I lose at that. Working out a bit as well.

Yes, bring some of those items to work for your drive home! I recommend carrot sticks healthy bars like a luna bar apples are good for some people, for me I feel so hungry after I eat them :) If you can bring a snack to work for the drive home, you'll do great!

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
