I never count my calories, but this got me thinking. I've been on a 2 1/2 -3 week slump, so yesterday I counted and was astonished at what a saw! Yesterday my count was 1200! No wonder I haven't been loosing! My Dr.'s reccomndation for this far out is 1000 calories, but I didn't think I was anywhere near that. Today I got back to basics and at 4pm am at 420 calories + 200 from protien supp.s = 620. Figure that should go up to around 800 after dinner. Much better I think. As for exercise, Docs reccomendation is 5 days a week, 10 warm up then 30 minutes aerobic exercise and 5 min cool down, for a total 45 minutes. I'm actually doing 3 days a week at 45-60 minutes aerobic then 30 minutes weights. Seems to work better for me. Good luck everyone and keep loosing! I Am Stronger Than Myself Janice
