I eat 1600 cals per day since 1600 is about the calories I will be eating to maintain my goal weight. I eat 3 400 calorie meals and then two snacks that total 400 (usually right at 200 each). So far, so good. But I have a lot to lose, yet. But I want it to be slow and steady and become a way of eating that I can easily maintain. I only watch each meal and don't really worry about the days totals as long as that one meal fits. Although, if I do plan on having a higher meal or going out, I try to eat less cals at the other times. But that isn't often so it works pretty well. So, my suggestion is to find the number of cals you need to eat to maintain your goal weight, cut maybe a couple of hundred off of that, and then divide it pretty equally throughout the day. Good luck! :D I do what I have lovingly started calling 4 Square. I eat 1600 cals per day since 1600 is about the calories I will be eating to maintain my goal weight.

I still get a random one now and then but I have noticed a difference :) I usually would take a warm bath and gently squeeze them, if the stuff came out great, if not I left it alone. HAHA was that TMI also? :p It is true they go away- I used to get them and now not so much. I still get a random one now and then but I have noticed a difference :)

I've been asking myself that lately as well. I guess we have to look at the counting/tracking of every bite as a necessary evil. Kinda like traffic. :) You're doing awesome, by the way. I've tried it at home and failed miserably. I had to start going to meetings to get my butt in gear. That’s an excellent question! I’ve been asking myself that lately as well.

The scale can vary so much from day to day, but when you can use a new hole in your belt you know you're making progress :) And how fantastic that you have your sister to encourage you. I'd guess, too, that a little healthy competition doesn't hurt. That belt is going to be a great way to measure your progress.
