This is my second day at 1,000 calories and the scales seem to be flickering in the right direction. I haven't been exercising since I dropped to 1,000 calories a day (or using my pedometer). I'll go back to 1,200 next week and begin exercising again. Jennifer at Weight Loss Journey brought up a comment (see comments for August 2) she mentioned adding calories (up to 1,400). This has worked for me in the past but I know the problem I have had lately has been too much snacking and I felt cutting back would help. The thing is, you have to keep changing - what you eat, your calorie intake and type of exercise, and as Jennifer says "Find what works right for your body." Thanks for the advice Jennifer.
