Still on the calorie counting program and so far, so good. I've reached a milestone of sorts, lost 10 lbs since I started on January 19th at 188 lbs I finally read 178 this morning on the scale. Three more to go, the target was 175 by the end of March I may make it early. The Lose It app that both Carol and I are using has been the biggest help. As you add foods that you eat and exercises and other intensive activities you do it stores that data for the next time you eat or do them then they're easy to find and enter into the daily log. The app determines how many calories you can eat per day to meet your goal and you always know how many you have left each day...in case you want that glass of wine and snack before bed. Right now I'm quite in the black for the week so with calories to spare I could have something extra but I do get a bit greedy and don't use up all my calories. Exercise is the key. My daily budget is 1,943 calories - with 60 minutes of brisk walking I get an additional 281 calories, 30 minutes on the elliptical 298, weightlifting for 45 minutes 128. Heck, I even get 130 for an hour behind the snowthrower. Close to making it easy to like snow... not quite.
