you will get there, just take on step at a time. And also make sure you go to the doctor and get that ear checked!!!! 

Sounds like a good plan. We calculated that FS calculates about 300 calories too high, so 1500-2000 sounds like a good goal. 

Hi Klaymates, Sorry to hear about the ear infection. I hope that it clears up quickly. If you want to see what another site says about how many calories you should consume, please check out this link... http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm I have also attached another link for carbs, fat, protein daily consumption which may interest you... http://thescienceofeating.com/food-combining-how-it-works/calories-fat-carbs-protein-per-day/ I can tell you from my experience that eating whole and nutritional foods is of primary importance and that the food we put into our body is even more important than exercise for losing weight. If one does not eat properly and watch the calorie count a chocolate bar or a large bowl of ice cream can sabotage even the best exercise plan. I try to stick to a daily caloric intake of 1500-1800 calories with regular exercise. My primary focus is what I am eating and how many calories and next is my exercise routine. I also do regular intermittent fasting which really works for me. It is really experimenting with different things before you find what works best for you and your body. I like your attitude and sometimes things move quickly and at other times nothing seems to be happening at all. I am at the point where I have dropped form about 205 lbs to 175 lbs and now the process is at a snails pace. The last 5-7 lbs are always the most difficult. However, I am very happy with the progress I have made, but it has taken over a year to get to this point with a few set backs. If you stick with it and keep a balanced routine with an open mind things will definitely go in the downwards trend. If you fall off the wagon (so to speak) don't judge yourself too harshly and just pick yourself back up and get back on. Don't forget that once in a while you need to treat yourself. I allow myself 4-6 small squares (27 calories each) of individually wrapped 70% dark cacao chocolate each day. I am a sugarholic and chocoholic and an emotional eater so I really have to be careful as when I binge I really, really binge. Luckily with lots of discipline the dark chocolate as a treat has really prevent me from binging on the ice cream and milk chocolate and it now satisfies my sweet tooth most of the time. I used to hate dark chocolate, but now I have come to love it and it is less calories, it helps to prevent my binges and I eat far less of it. Good luck with your downward trend....
