[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 552119, member: 805"] Another fan of myfitness pal! I actually eat 1500 calories a day but exercise 4-5 days a week (well, not right now since the surgery but I'm walking). I lost an incredible amount of weight by changing the way I eat and the way I move. Eating five meals a day and exercising I have lost 40 pounds since I started on May 23rd. I've lost a total of 31 inches off my body! I started a weight loss program at a local health center where we had to have total a medical health screenings before starting (and the written consent of our pcp) and attend weekly 90 minute lectures for 10 weeks to teach us about how our body processed food and what effect movement has on our body (one class was on insulin resistance, another on strength training, another on metabolism, etc.), and attend at least 3 classes a week. But, I was making very poor food choices and not moving at all prior to the start. I do three water aerobic classes a week, one deep water cardio class, and one day of just swimming and finning by myself on Sunday - very relaxing and meditative for me. I believe my huge loss of weight and inches is due to the total turnaround in my diet and the number of intense work outs a week. Since the surgery in mid-August, I've lost only 4 pounds but can't go in the water yet and am just walking. But I have stuck to my healthy eating. I'm so antsy to get back in the water - probably 2-3 weeks to go! Good luck! 1-2 pounds a week is a very healthy way to loose! You are totally on the right path. Sharon [/QUOTE]
