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?

I have to count calories. If I don't, I know I will over-eat. It holds me accountable.

I usually eat about 1200 a day.

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.

I count also it keeps me on track I do 900-1200 I think it is a great way to learn to eye ball it in the future or when you cant measure. line dancer

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.
