Default My calories for today are .....

Ok, the thread title says it all ... I need some accountability! Even when I try to keep track of my calories at home, little 'extras' start to creep in, and with no one else seeing them I think I'm getting away with it ... until weigh-in day of course! So I've decided to keep track of my daily calories here ... and knowing that others might see them will hopefully help to keep me on track!

If anyone else needs accountability and thinks that posting their daily calories here might help, then feel free to join me.

My daily allowance is 1500 calories.

Oh, and just in case anyone's checking up on me, I always tend to round-up my calories to the nearest 5 ... it makes it easier to total up at the end of the day!

Default Thank you for starting this

I look forward to joining you in keeping track of this sort of thing. I plan on losing weight slowly - not least of which because I want to give my body a chance to keep up - and on adding exercise slowly - for very similar reasons.

I haven't gotten a "magic number" yet for caloric intake, but it can't hurt to keep track AND cut back a little, right?

Anyway, good luck!

I would like to invite you all to join us in the "Planning for [day and date]" threads in the main Support forum. We all list what we plan to eat for the day (plus whatever other goals we have planned like water consumption, exercise, etc.), and then the next day, we usually report on how well we did or did not stick to the plan from the day before

Here's a link to today's planning thread if you'd like to join us:

Hi Lyria, hope this accountability thing works! How long have you been at your goal?

Jillybean, thanks for the offer, I'm just trying to keep things simple for now and just trying to keep track of my daily calories. Perhaps I should try to plan ahead a bit more ... hopefully this will come in time

Hey HK Yeah...I hope so to. My biggest hurdle at the moment is having met a wonderful new guy who happens to be like 6'7 with muscles that ripple and as a consequence he can eat whatever he likes - the dilemma comes in when he just LOVES to make me little tidbits to eat (even if it is all healthy stuff) and forgets that I don't need anywhere NEAR what he does!

I've been at goal for about two years now I guess with a variation between 58-62kgs. I've stayed about an Australian 8-10 (2-6US)

Hi Lyria, well done for maintaining for the last 2 years, I hope that I can eventually be in the same situation! I know how you feel with your boyfriend ... my husband's pretty fit and seems to be able to eat anything without any weight gain ... life just isn't fair! Am I right in thinking that Austalian sizes are the same as UK sizes? I haven't got a clue how US sizes compare.

Lunch - 2 x Apple w/ 200gm no-fat yoplait yoghurt = 230 & skim cap - 100
Snack - 2 x biscuits = 150
