Tracking your progress and setting a goal

  At my work, we have the benefit of a wellness coordinator.  A few weeks ago I asked her how many calories I should be taking in to lose 1-2 pounds a week.  After providing her with my weight, height, and age.  She was able to tell me that I need to eat between 1635 and 1750 to lose weight.  She also told me how much of those calories should be Protein, Fat, and Carbs.  I don't know about you but I do alot better when i write down EVERYTHING I eat and can see the amount of calories I need to eat going down by the choices I have made. Check out this site and try it for a week and see how it helps you.

I've also set a goal for one year from now.  I am going to New York 100 pounds lighter!!
