Don't give up :)
You can do it!! A set back is just that, a set back. I had one yesterday. I was a little upset (and being the emotional eater that I am) headed to the mongolian grill, and well, that hot oil gets me every time :o

You can do it. Keep your chin up and stay positive!!

Weight Loss Can't consume all my calories!! Jun 01 2006

Thanks to both of you.

I eat a lot of apples, bananas, oranges. Strawberries, cherries etc when they are in season.

Rose, it makes so much sence now, I need to continue eating healther foods with higher calorie rates... where as I could eat a chocolate bar to up it, maybe I should have a glass of milk and a handful of almonds? (btw- I'm not actually eating a chocolate bar to get my calories up :P )

This is just my first week on this site, so I've had my inital weigh in- but I don't want to get hung up weighing myself every day. I'd rather weigh once a week and measure once a week.

Speaking of measuring, where should I measure? My hips? Waist and bum?

I hope this question hasn't been asked a million times already, but I'm still having a hard time figuring this all out. I'm very new to this (just started a few days ago) and I can't seem to wrap my head around this whole cal in cal out thing.

Let me break it down for you
5'6
170 lbs
and I want to be around 135-140 by October (which I think should be do-able)

through the calorie-count calculator, it figured I should consume 1500 cals/day. So is that before exercising? If I do no exercise on that day, I should only comsume 1500? Or is it 1500 cals WITh exercise?


So this morning I walked briskly for 3.30 miles, which worked out to be 227 calories.
My acount home page is saying Total Burned Calories   2,115

So does that mean I need to up my daily cals from 1500 to 2115?

I'm sorry I must sound so silly, but for whatever reason I just cant figure this out. Maybe this calorie counting thing isn't for me.
Weight Loss Question about calorie intake/output (I think) May 31 2006

Thanks for your response. I guessn Im still not totally sure about this calorie thing. So on days I don't exercise, I should consume about 1500 cals, and on days I do exercise, I should add more calories depending on how much I burn? Say I burn an extra 500 cals by running, I should up my cals for that day by 250-300?? As long as I don't exceed 500?
