Hi,
My name is Paul, I'm 38 and I've been overweight for far too long. I've finally changed my eating habits as well as my non-existing exercise habits.(I am walking 2 miles a day right now) I want to keep motivated to stick with this and not lapse back into old bad habits. I've been at this about 2 weeks now and so far so good. I'd actually lost more weight than the 3 lbs I already am counting but since I did not have an accurate scale I'm not going to guesstimate on those. I can be precise now. Going to only weigh myself officially once a week though. Unless it's better to weigh more often ?
I have read some of the posts on this site but need to read alot more. I want to get my calorie intake to about 1,500 daily . from what I have read that seems to be a healthy number. Right now I'm actually finding it hard to eat enough. I've got to get a steady routine in place of what I can/should eat everyday . I'm eating alot of the lean cuisine meals and I fine them filling and I'm not hungry but yet I'm not getting enough
calories through them and I don't want to put my
body into "starvation mode" from lack of
calories. Any suggestions will be welcomed from anyone. Especially on what amount of
calories is considered proper for
weight loss. My normal calorie intake to maintain current weight would be around 2,500( ugh I hate even admitting that)
Thanks !
