Well I have been working out 4 days a week and counting my calories for the past few weeks. I have lost 5 pounds since I began working out but I am thinking that I am eating too many calories.

I am eating approximately 1700 calories a day and working off about 300 doing cardio. Am I eating too much though. Everyone on here says to eat like 1200 calories right? So is 1700 bad? I am having a really difficult time cutting down to 1200 calories. I am SOOOO hungry lately since I started working out so much. Plus food tastes better and stays with me longer if a has a few extra calories. I am feeling paranoid because I still have so much weight to lose.

Thank goodness for my band here to help me. I am not nearly as hungry as I would be. Losing weight is 1 million times easier with the band, but I do still have to make effort and watch what I'm eating.
