Calories

Will you please share the amt of calories you are consuming every day--I know abt the protein and carb amts. and I avoid sugars. I just want to know how many calories a day I should be eating. I have stopped losing at 70#. Thanks Linda

I get in about 800 to 1000 calories on a good day, but most times I hover between 6 to 800 calories. I am stuck at 64 pounds. Adrienne

Ladies, Plateaus happen no matter what you are doing. Keep doing what you know is right and you will get over this platuea. Believe me I know I have had two plateaus in since Oct. I am down 84 pounds and know that rather I like it or not I will hit many many more platuaus before this is over. Dont worry you will start loosing again. Tanya

I generally get in between 500 - 800 calories a day. I don't really count calories though. I only know because Fitday tells me how much I've consumed. My doc doesn't want me worrying about stuff like that. He wants me to focus on protein and veggies. 10/31/03 257/179/150

Goodmorning, Currently I am 5 months post- op with a 76 pound loss. I am finally over my PLATEAU!!!!! Anyway, My doctor says that I need to be at 900 to 965 calories at this time in order to maintain and to continue to lose weight. I work out twice a day, so I need more calories to maintain my body. However, I am struggling to get to 900. I'm really close though. I'm at about 750 to 850. Sincerely, Cherry 276-200

Hi Linda! I'm at 98.5 lbs. lost, and I recently asked my doc about calories. He said I don't have to worry about that right now, so I try not to. However, being 44 yrs. old and a calorie counter since Jr. High School... it's a tough habit to break! I think I consume between 800-1000 calories per day. The thing I *have* to do is exercise! Jeez! I think I could lose faster, or keep on losing if I would start a regular exercise program. I live in Minnesota and it's been so cold! With all of this weight loss I am absolutely freezing most of the time. I go to bed with socks, sweats, top and sweatshirt over that! I feel motivated, but haven't put my motivation into action...
