So how many calories do you think you are eating a day? I don't think you are a piggy, but you have to look at the calories. I know it is a big pain in the butt, however, this is not going to work if we don't reduce our calories. It is certainly not an exact science on how many calories one should eat, but it does have to be less than what you work off. I saw your post on the other thread and you said that you have only lost 10 pounds. Are you exercising? Are you getting your water? It looks like your carb/protein ratio might not be optimal. I am not one for giving up any food group (though you are taking to the queen of Taliban Atkins!
) but what is in the breakfast burrito? We would love to help you out. This is a great group of people and we are very supportive. Feel free to join us on the exercise thread as we can really get people motivated there. Something has to be happening to cause you to only have lost 10 pounds, but the more information we have the more that we can help you. I don't know if you have posted here before or not...I post on two boards and I don't always remember those that don't post often
. But if you are new or newer WELCOME!
