When it comes to setting goals in our calorie counting, I want to emphasize keeping your goals small and manageable. For me I realized after just documenting for a week that I was taking in more than 2000 calories a day and that certain numbers were rather high. So one of my first goals was to just reduce my calories to 2000 a day.
Another focus point for me was to try and work on Portion control and eating proper portions and not too much of anything. I also decided to try and eat whole grain bread instead of white bread, and look for whole wheat flour instead of enriched flour.
I also realized that I was drinking a lot of my calories. So I worked on trying to cut back on the soft drinks and substitute green tea for soft drinks.
I don't eat the right foods, and fruits and vegetables are not really my thing. So I started with small goals of just including fruits in with the foods I am eating.
Just simple small goals that for me are attainable. As long as you keep your goals attainable you will start to see a difference.
Again this week I want to see you introduce yourself here, and start recording everything that you are eating as I mentioned in the previous post, without any goals to maintain for this week.

Deanna, I have read your posts at Melissa Taylor's MTC study, and I've read some here as well. I would be honored to be your accountability partner, if you'd be mine as well. I've struggled with my weight off and on, but in the last 12 years, it's really gotten out of control. I did the MTC study this summer with a friend, and although I did lose some weight, I still have a long road ahead of me.
