You may need MORE calories to lose weight...Sounds crazy but could be what you need? I don't know how tall you are or how active but if you go to fitday.com you can set up an account and it will analyze your intake/output, etc.... But losing weight slowly is good too! You are doing great! I am trying to stay under 2,400 calories. I am 5'8" and very active! I run 2 hours a day burning around 1,500 calories so I LOSE weight at that amount and could/should eat close to 4,000 calories per day....but I am trying to get back to 135 so I am TRYING to restrain myself! Wierd because when I first went raw I easily went down to 132....Since I broke my leg in January it has slowly crept back up and I don't know why????Originally Posted by Mango
must be that metal plate in my leg!!!!!!!!
Good luck!

I did well today with staying under 2,400 calories but my fat was about 22%....I could have eaten more fruit to balance that out but that seems like a silly idea if I am trying to LOSE weight so I just figured a calorie is a calorie is a calorie.....I think I've had too much fruit lately and not enough greens because I am having a hard time getting 10% protein!!!! a work in progress I guess!

Thanks for the advice. How do you eat 2400 calories? I feel like I am eating all day to begin with. Eating and exercising must take up your whole day ;) . Originally Posted by NFrawRUNNER

I am 5'9" and weigh 149. I would really like to get to 140 but it is coming off so slowly. I only exercise 3 times per week for an hour each time. I really don't have time to do more. Maybe I should try to up the calories to see what happens. I was so busy today that I only ate 1200 carlories at 10% fat. I did manage to eat 2 lbs of greens in green smoothies *gag*. It was a bit too much for me but extremely filling.

Fruit calories add up fast...I eat fruit meals, sometimes up to 10 pieces....which adds up, but I need the "energy".....also, it adds up quicker than you think...and I think I do eat all day!!!! But when I try to "cut back" I'm starving!!! Probably because of the running....also, if I cut back too much I'm too weak for a good run...so I just ry to keep around 2,400 to lose a little bit at a time....Do you track on fitday? It helps.

I lost a pound yesterday! I am at 148 today. Only 8 pounds to go. I am going to the health club today and taking a spin class. I usually burn around 600 calories so I will try to eat more today.
How is everyone else doing? Maraw?
