I'm not sure where I belong so since I'm a "calorie counter" I think I'll post this here. I'm not new to dieting but counting calories is a bit new for me. I'm sticking to 1,600 as my daily intake. I'm hoping to find others who are trying to lose 100+ pounds by cc.

My highest wt. 315 (lost 15 juicing but can't do it long term)
Started c.c. 300
My current wt. 297
My goal wt. 180

Congrats on your loss!

I technically do Atkins, but I count my calories also. The restriction on carbs makes it easier for me to maintain my lowered calories, but I still find it necessary to count my calories to insure weightloss.

*waves* Hey GypsyMoon! Congratulations on your weight loss. I've been counting calories for nearly 2 1/2 years, lost nearly 100 lbs. and it has changed my life. However I was derailed for several months, and have found myself 27 lbs. up from my lowest (209.2 to 236.8 I think?) it has been really hard on me. I am trying to fight myself out of my gain and move into the 100's.

Thanks. Juicing was rough but I was able to make it 3 weeks. I'm not following any particular diet but I'm choosing not to eat any bread, pasta, rice products. I'm even limiting all fruit except small amounts of berries. I really need to get this weight off so I'm being strict.

Hi! You're doing so great! You'll kick those pesky pounds to the curb in no time. I've lost and gained for so long, not amused with myself, its come to the point where I've had to just stop and take a good look at my health. Reality check. I'm borderline diabetic and high blood pressure. So glad to be here and hope we can support each other!
