Hi here's another calorie counting newbie.
 

I'm officially starting tomorrow, today I've bought in readiness the Colins book of Calories, which is a useful tool for any calorie counters over here in the UK and a pedometre to help get me moving. I've discovered that I've been eating around 2315.3 calories per day and that just consuming 2000 a day will cause a steady weight loss, of around 1 to 2lb a week. That is to begin with, of course as the weight comes off I'll have to lower the amount of calories I eat.

So I've decided to allow myself a maximum of 2000 calories a day and a minimum of 1,500, for the next 4 weeks. I plan to weigh myself once a week on a Wednesday morning.

Looking forward to being part of this group.

Welcome and good luck !

Welcome Nicki! Sounds like you have a good plan in place!

Welcome!! Sounds like you're good to go!! :carrot:

Welcome! Sounds like a good plan you have there. :cool:

Welcome. Don't start tomorrow--how about right now?

Again, welcome! I am also a counter and LOVE it!

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you've got it well in hand!

I'm starting tomorrow because I want to start on a clean slate, a new dawn and mainly because Wednesday used to be my WW weigh in day so it's sort of traditional.

Thanks to everyone for my welcome and here's to us all succeeding to all we set our hearts and minds to be it weight loss or any other personal goal.:grouphug:

Hi Nicki!!!! Welcome. It's alot of fun in here...just an fyi.

Welcome, sounds like you are prepared and have a great plan!

Having a great plan and being prepared is one thing, being able to put it into practise is another! :D That's why I'm here. I can talk the talk but I struggle to walk the walk.:dizzy:

Welcome!

Hi Nicki! Hope it's going well on your first day. It sounds like you've got a great plan. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress. Together we can all do this! :)

Oh my goodness, you are starting with almost the exact same stats as me! I don't know why, but that got me so excited.

I can tell you that if I stay at 1500-1600 calories/day and do 20-30 mins of cardio every day, I lose about 2lbs a week. Best of luck and if you need anything pm me!
