Thanks for posting, but I'm really confused by what you said. I know that weight loss is a lifestyle change. In fact, I have been exercising almost every day for the past 4 years. I just have problems with controlling my food intake which is why i calorie count, as it helps me keep track. Im just confused about what you said. Are you saying that if you go under 1500 calories you will gain weight if you eat more than that? So should I eat more than 1500 cals? Cause if i do i wont lose anything. And also, I do eat low fat, I have been for years. Its the amount of food thats a problem for me. I stated that I was to have under 25 grams a day. Thanks so much for your post but I'd be great if you could clear up whether or not i should go below 1500. thanks heaps!
