I have to do under 1200 a day to lose any weight and writing it down really helps. The first couple days of counting calories is really hard, but then it's a lot easier. Once you learn to 'budget' calories, you can pick which meal to splurge on. It's amazing how many calories are in some foods - one of my favorite burgers ended up being 800 calories! So gross.

I am going to begin watching my portions as well as the foods I eat. We can keep each other motivated! Good luck, Candace! I am going to begin watching my portions as well as the foods I eat.

Kyle is using fitday.com (which I recommended) and he finds it very useful. Do you use any websites to help you keep track?
