The second is that you aren't giving a realistic goal for your weight loss. A lady friend of mine told me something similar to your post ..... She was ESTIMATING her caloric intake and was off by almost 50% when we actually wrote it down.

Keep couting every calorie as 'mikenencharleston' said and keeep exercising and you will be on your way. Good luck on your journey.

The calorie estimator here is broken. Don't be too put down by not losing a bunch of weight right off the bat. It took my wife a month before we got her on track. 1-2 pounds a week is great, especially for the ladies who have a harder time than the fellas with weight loss(sorry it's just genetics). Keep up the good work, and DO NOT QUIT.
