Back To Calorie Counting...



Recommended Posts

So I hate doing it but it really helps me to have specific goals to stick to, and I like the challenge, so I'm going to be positive and not beat myself up too much!

Anyone else find it easy to count, and how many calories are you doing?

It's not hard if you use an phone or computer application- it makes it easy. Like Missy I stick to 1200. I hate to admit it, but with a death in the family, me getting sick, and the craziness of this time of year I haven't counted in 2 weeks. I gotta get back to it, thankfully my weight has not gone up.

Yes... I am a calorie counter. I eat about 1200 a day.

when i was activly losing I ate 1000 calories and tracked and counted everything that went into my mouth. Now being close to goal I pretty much eyeball it but if I need to I use it to look up the calorie content of something I am unsure of.

Now I'm about 60 lbs away from goal. My fitness pal.com says I should shoot for 1520, that seems high

What you should take in from surgery is very different from myfitnesspal.com. They don't take into account your surgery. You should consume 1000-1200 a day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
