Hi all. I have just joined, and having weighed myself a few minutes ago (probably not the best time after spaghetti bolognaise), I will be starting Calorie Counting as of tomorrow. I know we are all in the same situation, but I'm terribly embarrased, even to come on here and say how much I weigh. I have looked on the internet and it says I need about 2300 calories a day to lose weight. This seems an awful lot despite my weight. I thought it would be about 1500. Please can somebody help as to how many I should have? I weigh 19 and a half stone (273 lbs) and I'm only 5ft 4. Shocking I know (hope nobody tells me off), but there's only one way out of this, and it's to do something NOW. I'm a fussy eater, but I'm sure I'll be ok. My only downside is I don't like raw veg, fish or cheese, I'm so envious of people who eat salad. My weakness is carbs, so having read a few of your threads, I think the belly will be grateful if I try and cut out bread for starters.
Anyway it's a nice day, so off out for a walk as your threads have made me feel so positive about getting on with it.
PS - You name the diet, I've been on it, but I think nothing seems more simpler on the brain matter than Calorie Counting.
Good luck everyone, and big hugs from somebody who 1 day won't be so big xxxx
