The scope of this thread is for those who would like to lose weight together by counting calories only.
Nothing complicated.
Simply reducing your sum calorie intake, and moving more.
I do ask that certain replies not be made in this post, regardless of any good intentions.
*Please don't reply about the 20,000 types of sugars we should or shouldn't eat.
*Please don't reply with 20,000 nuances of carbs to avoid or not avoid.
*Oh and please don't reply with a highly detailed nuanced schedule of which times to eat 10 different tiny meals.
*Please don't reply with talk of 20,000 kinds of fat to avoid or not avoid.
*Please no talk of...Well you might just be losing water weight.
*Please no rants about processed food, and eating needs to be a lifestyle, not just a diet.
Honestly I find that after all of those nuances are given, many intending to lose weight get overwhelmed, and reach for a double cheeseburger and large fries.
So let's keep this simple.
1.We're counting calories.
2.We're moving more.
There is a helpful website and app called MyPlate MyPlate Calorie Tracker and Fitness Program | LIVESTRONG.COM
It helps you set up a recommended calorie intake plan based on your goals and exercise.
If you're interested in the calorie counting, use it.
I wouldn't get too caught up in the details, just keep it simple.
Again...keeping it simple...
Count calories.
Move more.
Even if you only lose one pound a week, after a month that's four pounds.
After two months it's eight pounds.
After three months it's 12 pounds.
Yeah that may seem slow, but guess what!
Three months is going to come either way.
When that comes, do you want to be the same weight, or do you want to weigh less?
Your choice.
To some this approach may be boring, unexciting.
Meh, so what. We're trying to lose weight, not stay in style and be trendy.
If you want to be trendy, go to a fashion show.
So who is with me in doing this?
I've been doing it for a few months and I've lost over 20 pounds.
