Hello Rhonda,
looks like you are off to a good start. I personally can't wait until my clothes seem larger(the ones in my closet). It seem like the old fashion calorie counting and exercise, and not looking for the mirical pill, seems to be doing great for everyone...I better stay on that track.

Hi Rhonda - congrats on your progress so far!  I'm doing the same - watching my caloric intake and increasing exercise - just started though. Are you doing any other exercise other than walking?

The ONLY thing i'm doing for exercise is -- 3-5 days of the work week, I walk "uphill" in the parking garage for a 1/2 hour.... and then once a day for about 20-30 minutes I do walk 'around' the dog park while Roxi is running with her doggie friends LOL  That's all the exercising I'm doing.. I wanted to join a gym or something, but i can't justify the cost at this time.
Also, when I say I'm watching calories, I'm supposed to eat like 2800 a day or some ungodly amount of food.... I am eating NO MORE than 1200 a day... most days I eat about 1100-1200.... I have a 200 calorie breakfast, a 100 calorie snack, 300 calorie lunch, a 100 calorie snack, 400 calorie dinner and then 100 calorie snack..... that's how I break up my day If I know i'm going to have a REALLY good dinner, I'll not have my afternoon or evening snack so I can have more at dinner
I eat LOTS of vege's.... my favorite snack

First, welcome to the site, I'm new too! Secondly, I really think you're undereating. This may be working for you now but it's going to get to a point where it's doing you way more damage than good. Please think about upping your calories some, I think not only will you feel better but you'll look better in the long run to. | |

| Re: Hello everyone, I'm a newbie
I have been doing this diet under the watchful eye of my doctor.... When I first started, I was only taking in 800 calories a day, and he almost DEMANDED that I up the calories, so we talked about uping them to 1000, I did 1,000 calories for about 2 weeks, and still wasn't losing any weight. So he upped me to 1200 calories and i'm losing weight at a pretty rapid pace. I just went to him last week, he looked over my food journal, and what exercise I had been doing, and he's pleased with my progress and so am I.
my 15 year old daughter goes to a different dr than mine, and he sugggested a 1500 calorie diet for her. I also talked to him about my diet and he said it was perfectly healthy.
I have been cautioned by BOTH doctors though, if i'm going to eat 1200 calories a day, i have to make them count. Instead of a 150 calorie candy bar, I have to eat an orange and some nuts..... I have to make the calories count, it won't work if i eat the 1200 calories in junk.....
I appreciate your concern, but I am being watched by my doctor
