Tuesday had started a 1200 calories plan, tracking calories on a food journaling...and this time is a MUST!! My sister will look at my notebook this weekend and also, she wants me to weigh in, ..I told her that mornings I weigh less and afternoon its more..But she Wants to check me over..
I do not mind that she looks over my food journaling...but today, slip up and overeate my limit..My problem on jorunaling is am on and off, on and off so many times and I am looking forward on her seeing my progress..and tough love talking, of why I cheated today.
So, I challenge myself to keep plugging along on my food jorunaling..I must be good from this point on. I was good on plan yesterday...and di wrote my binges for today...I am honest, and this journaling is my only hope and staying commited to this for life.
Studies shown that people loose better when they keep a life long self monitoring on foods..calories..So..I will vent out here, good or bad, but am going to be very good.
I want to loose my 1st 50 Lbs end of 2015..
Does anyone keep a life long food journal, offline that is..with the old fashion way with notebook, pen ,calculator??

Good luck in reaching your goals.
At your current weight, you could lose 1-2lbs/wk eating 1600-1800 cal/day. Determine your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure - the number of calories you expend daily) and eat about 500-700 calories less. That will give you a lose of about 4-6lbs per month. And you will be eating enough to ward off the "OMG I'm STARVING late afternoon/night" overeating.
Check out this website for more info on TDEE.

@ Scarlet, excuse the question, but what is the MFP?
Thanks,
AM613
MFP is MyFitnessPal.com. A great calorie counting/food logging/fitness website and a great community. I found MFP 2 years ago when I weighed 232lbs. Since then I have lost (and kept off!) 50lbs. I have another 25lbs to go to get healthy, then another 15-20lbs to lose to get awesomely fit.
FWIF, MFP was great when I joined in early 2013 but was recently bought by UnderAmour - the "upgrades" and for-pay "Premium" service have been detrimental to the "community aspect" of the site. But it is still worth a try....
I've gotten to a point where my initial big goal seems within reach - and I seem to have gotten complacent. Time to refocus, finish the initial vague goal and set the ultimate end goal!
Thank you again.
