Hi everyone, I'm choosing to count calories

  • Hi there, I'm thinking maybe a lot of you have tried many things but use calorie counting just because plain and simply it works. It is the one thing that consistently will work for me -- WHEN I work it.

    I'm going to start logging on the fitday program on my laptop tomorrow when i wake up.

    I hope you all have a successful day tomorrow counting calories!
  • Calorie counting is a little hard when you first start but stick with it. before you know it you will be doing it without any trouble at all.
  • Good choice ! I have done almost every diet out there , in the past and found that calorie counting is the most efficient and reliable method.
  • Good luck!

    Calorie counting worked wonders for me and I've seen it work for some of my family members too
  • Good luck!

    Calorie counting has worked for me. I've never done any sort of diet or weight management in my life so I was surprised when I started losing weight when I started counting calories and just slimming down portion sizes.

    It was kind of stressful in the beginning since I felt like I was constantly tracking and maybe doing something wrong. You just get used to it as long as you keep tracking! I even track my bad meals to keep myself in check.
  • I spent a lot of time spinning my wheels, trying to eat healthy, cut out processed foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, etc. and still wasn't losing weight. It was only when I started actually counting up all those calories that I realized I was simply eating too much of a good thing. I use the Lose It app on my ipad, and once I plugged in my data into the app and it told me how many calories to eat each day, and if I followed their directions, what date I would reach my goal weight, I was hooked. Since then, I have been motivated to burn a few extra calories than I normally would, and eat a few less calories than I normally would, and the weight is coming off.

    Good luck with your calorie counting. I hope you find it as common sense and easy to follow as I do.
  • CC works best for me too, at first I used to be hungry, but I'm so used to it now, that yesterday which was supposed to be my cheat day, i really didn't end up going too much over my CC set limit lol

    It's becoming a way of life now I love it
