I've just been working w/ calories off the Food Journal and trying to stay within that -250 to -750 range for each day. I've only missed the mark one day...but I was still under the recommended caloric intake for the day (-103), so at least I didn't go over!

Hannah is right...those fruits and veggies are GOOD for you! As long as you're not using pounds of butter with them, you should lose weight by eating them. Stay away from the junk food and overdoing those calories.

Of course, Hannah is also right in the respect that if you take in too few calories...your body will "shut down" in the sense that it will slow down your metabolism. Get within the range that you should be and you shouldn't have a problem. Add exercise as you can.

Right now I'm still working on the Food Journal and getting the process of recording my intake to become a habit, but as I become more confident with that, I'm hoping to try monitoring my exercise as well online.

Good luck!
