    I heard this is the best board for low fat advice.

    I'm from Pennsylvania (PA)
    I'm 5'7"
    current weight is 170lb
    Goal weight is 125.

    main source of exercise is ddrmax2 a playstation 2 dance game.

    I'm just started a low fat, high carb 'way of life' I love my starches so much.

    1200 cal "10% or less from fat" 117 fat calories 13.0 grams fat or less.

    (I used this method before and got down to 120lb from 185lb in 97) at 120lb my husband said I was getting too thin! so I tried to level off. Then I don't know what happened. Well true is I do, I started falling in my old ways no excerise, eating lots of everything. In denial "I was never that big & wasn't going to gaining it back"

    Also I'm not very computer chat able (meaning I don't quit get all the lettering YET) like cw? current weight I'm guessing. Sw start weight? but I'm a quick study. I just might have to ask if thats alright? or is there a list of some of their meaning?

    I wouldn't be able to visit everyday but will try as often as I can.

    hope to join you.

    thanks, superwitch & BritinNJ.

    I may need that rolling pin someday. I heard a cast iron pan works good too.

    I live real close to Bloomsburg, Danville. Have you heard of any of these towns?

    Hi Sally,

    Im formely of Dayton, Ohio myself. I have lived in England for 18yrs. Like you, I am new to the 3 Fat Chic site but it seems to be a great place to hang out.
    I am curious -

    1200 cal "10% or less from fat" 117 fat calories 13.0 grams fat or less. . . . .

    What does that mean? Are you counting calories, carbs, or fat?

    I'm counting calories & fat calories which is the 1200 I'm suppost to have under 1200 calories
    out of those 1200 calories not more than 10% of those calories are supost to be from fat 117 calories or "13.0 fat grams". 13.0 x 9 = 117.0
    because ever 1 fat gram = 9 calories



    formula is calories x % divided by 9 gots the fat gram intake one can have.

    I found it in the complete book of fat
