This is the way to go, simple science - calories in vs. calories out. If you have a daily deficit, the weight WILL COME OFF!  |
How how how how!!!! I'm so happy to hear that counting calories is working well for you!!! Another testament to counting calories!
So what calorie level have you been settling on? How much extra time a day do you spend counting calories? The one complaint I hear most from people who aren't willing to count calories is they don't think they have the time.
