Hi everyone

My name is Trish and I'm trying to lose weight. I've kinda lost some but trying to lose way more. I think I started at 218 last year. After 3 months I went down to 208 just by changing my diet. But right now I'm only 203. I want to get down to about 150!

Either that or a size 8 haha.

I've recently started at the 24 hour fitness personal trainer program and got the bodybugg and all that jazz. With all this, I'm finding that I actually underate my calories most of the time and it's killing my metabolism. It bulks up my body on the times when I do have those extra calories. Having a hard time eating my calories steadily.

I am sorta worried about eating too much. The bodybugg plan says to eat 2200 a day and burn 2700 a day. Normally on a non-exercise day it says I burn about 1800 or so. But then, wouldn't eating all those 2200 actually make me gain weight? So confused haha.

Anyway, I thought this forum might be a good one to post frustrations or thoughts, and a great tracking thingy (once I earn my signature rights)

Thanks!

Hi there and . . . have you found our Fitness Forums yet?

Welcome, welcome!

For me, it's been about smaller portions and cutting out some of the salty and sweet stuff. I've found that the me earlier in the summer could eat a whole serving of something when I go out or order in... now, since August, I eat half of it and am just fine. I've also cut out caffeine and Diet Coke, and that's REALLY helped curb my appetite for more food.

Good luck!

Hey Trish!! Good luck and know that you can get into that size 8 one day!!

Welcome!
