Counting Calories

Hey Y'all

I was just wondering if everyone was counting calories? My doc told me that I should be eating no more than 900 a day. Most days I stay under 900 and there's been a few days where I've gone over a bit but, no more then 100. My weight loss seems to be steady I've been banded since 1/24/07 and have had one fill of 1.3cc in a 4cc band. To date I have lost 33lbs. I go for another fill in 3 weeks. I just bought a home gym and can't wait to get it set up and going on that. Well I look forward to hearing from y'all just curious as to what other people are doing to encourage more weight loss.:)

I've not counted anything and have gone from 113kg to 80kg in about 15 months. I've been really pleased with that, I only have about 8 to lose.

But years of dieting mean I know the calorie count of every food known to modern man, and by rough guessing I've eaten 1500 to 1800 a day on average - which seems to be a lot for a female but its done me fine. I do run a lot though.

However the last bit isnt budging, there does come atime when its absolutely necessary!

Yes when I worried I started counting . I would stop at no more then 1100 but tried to stop at 800 to 1000.
Now I can kinda of feel out the calories. I do stay with low calorie foods.
I snack on rice cakes. They seem to fill me up . New flavors cinnamon and sugar,honey graham and BBQ (yum).
