Good morning all ....I am down 4 lbs!!! I did get a fill on the 8th and I got the wii biggest loser game and i have been working out everyday with that !! WHOO HOO !!! amy 234.5

thanks !! see thats how this got started. I journal all of my food at the daily plate and they had me down for one set intake. yesterday my son bought me the biggest loser for the wii and i use my board for it and they put me at another count. then I came here and was reading... i was too full of numbers to know what i was doing I work out every day 30 mins to 1 hr the daily plate takes those calories in and calulates them for ya... I just want to lose 2 lbs a week and get healthy.. even tho the wake up and be thin dream is sweet thats never going to happen thank you all !!! Amy

i am so confused. i think i am reading way too much !! I just need some advice .. I was abnded on Dec 13th 2010 and I am down 29.5 lbs. i work out 30 mins to 1 hr a day so that is part of my calorie problem there... any help would be great ! Amy
