Default Hihi, new here, lost 50lbs so far!
I just posted this in the introduction forum but I'll post it here too, because calorie counting is what I'm MOST into!

I've been reading this board for awhile now and finally decided to start posting! I'm Jenn, 27, female, living in Atlanta, GA right now but originally from upstate, NY -- we're moving back to NY soon!

I started dieting in June (2007) starting at 319lbs! I'm down to 269lbs now and still have a lot to go but I'm taking it slow.

I cycle my calories, averaging 1829 per day:

Sun: 1800
Mon: 2000
Tue: 1400
Wed: 2800
Thu: 1200
Fri: 1500
Sat: 2100

And take a free day in place of the 2800 cal day every 2 weeks.

I eat a lot of real foods and skip the "diet" pre-portioned stuff as much as possible. I love food and I don't deprive myself of any of it. I practice moderation, balance AND indulgence!

I do 3 or 4 days of cardio for now and strength training. As I lose more weight I do not plan on lowering my calories, but instead increasing my cardio and my patience!

I'm doing this for life and I really enjoy it. I believe in eating at your TARGET maintenance calories and going slow. Deprivation and silly crash diets never work in the long run.

I keep a diet journal and food tracker/daily menu on my personal diet blog that's in my sig.

I hope everyone is enjoying their journey and destination as much as I am!!

I post on a lot of different boards and this is one of the cutest!!

You are doing great to have lost 50lbs since June!

Honestly, I think one of the hardest parts of weight loss is finding a plan you can stick to for life. It sounds like you've found that, so even though the journey's not over yet you've certainly got a big portion of the challenge handled! Keep up the great work!
