This is going to sound a little strange, because I am really overweight, but I don't really eat very much. Most of the reasons I am so heavy are medical, and I don't like very many physical activities. Also I don't eat much but I do like fat filled foods. So it is hard to burn off the weight I put on.  I didn't want to count calories because its depressing, and structured, very not me in general. Today I realized I had inadvertently been cutting my calories way too much. Which of course can make the body hold on to stored fat for survival so you don't lose as much weight, which is very frustrating. My rough and generous calorie estimate for today was 1450, day before that was 1250 and day before that was 900.
So I guess I need to make an effort to track my calories better, and shoot for the 1850 to 2000 range, until I can lower it more as I lose. I don't use the internet everyday, so not sure how often I can post or track my results. I will make an effort to do so.

I think the scale I have been using is broken! Which is terrific! I started trying to get healthier on the 18th of Jan. I have worked out faithfully at least 20min, but usually 45 min, every single day since then. I have not been keeping track of my calories because that drives me insane, but I can't think of a single bad food I have eaten since the 18th, and yet had not lost a SINGLE pound! however, I tried using the WII scale today, which is far more accurate, and in truth have lost a little. Not enough for me to tell yet, but at least I don't feel like giving up anymore.
I should mention my fiance is 6-1 and weighs 148lbs. So if he skips a meal you can tell, he also never works out and eats whatever he wants. It is so hard to stay motivated when you are next to that all day. I work and work and nothing happens, he skips any meal and loses 2 pounds!!!
