[quote=Anonymous]I used calorie counting and daily exercise to lose 20 pounds in 20 weeks a few years ago, after full time job + grad school took a toll on my eating/exercise habits. Counting calories meant that I was more mindful of the snacks and sweets (and booze) that I was consuming. Knowing what fast food items really contained was very helpful in making choices. I'd still eat the fast food, but it might steer me toward one chain over another, or one sandwich vs. a higher-calorie one. I'm 5'8" and went from 160 to 140. (my usual weight.) I figured out pretty quickly that if I didn't have at least 1,500 calories PLUS what I was burning in exercise, that I'd feel light-headed. So most days I was eating at least 2,000 calories. (more when I started marathon training.) Are you exercising? I think it's really hard to lose weight and keep it off without exercise.[/quote]
