Ya that's what I was thinking too. I'm trying hard to keep the protein level in line with the carbs and keep the fat content down around 20-25%.
In any case it is already working.
I lost 4 pounds in 6 days. I know that won't continue but it is a good (encouraging) start.

The app is only for iphone and ipad. I was hoping for an app compatible with Android devices. Anyway... I am currently eating every 2-3 hours and maintaining total calories for the day under 1600. I wake up around 5 am. Usually have something very small, some grapes, or a rice cake, or granola bar r...

Time for some necromancy style thread resurrection. Some updates: In early 2010 after all the dieting, mostly planned out and executed based on the posts above I managed to get down to 184 (remember initial weight was high 240's) and was feeling amazing. Over the course of the following three years ...

Just wanted to post a quick update:

As of this morning I am weighing in at 206 which is down from 242. It is really amazing and I couldn't be happier. thanks to everyone for their advice.

Ya problem is at work i almost always tuck in shirt. :P Luckily i have so many clothes which have not fit me nor have i even tried on for like 3 years so i've got some stuff to wear as the weight continues to come off. This last weekend i put on a size 38 pant and was comfortable! this is down from ...

Well this is an amazing experience and I'm very pleased with the results so far. I definitely haven't over worked or tired myself out, mostly the opposite is true because I'm never hungry and don't feel as tired as before. Also I have to report that I am currently at 225.6 pounds and very excited. F...

25 more pounds by Christmas would be OUTSTANDING but just a total of 25 would be okay and acceptable. In the long run i would like to get down to 188-195 and stay there. Right now i'm 229.8 and i started at 242.6 So we'll see, i know i can reach that final goal i just have to stay focused and hopefu...

Yup i'm pretty thrilled! I've taken a couple pictures and will probably take more, even though the clothes speak to progress just fine. This weekend I wore slacks that I couldn't even pull all the way up before. Pretty amazing, plus jeans that were a death trap now fit me. As of today I am dangerous...

UPDATE: Sorry it's been a while and I've been a busy guy. Anyway, I have lost 11 pounds and feel pretty good. The diet tracking in fit tracker has helped tremendously. Along with handy dandy scale and various measuring spoons I can track pretty accurately what goes into body, just as Cassie said. Al...

Going up for lunch now, i'll probably grab a small side salad to go with the sandwich. The oats i had are pretty plain and weight 28grams dry, 0 sugar and 80mg of sodium 19carbs and 105mg potassium 3gram fiber and 2gram fat and pretty much nothin else. but okay next time i'll buy the big container. ...

Okay thanks for the feedback. I will do best to adjust as much as possible today. Unfortunately i'm already at work and have meals packed pretty much. Maybe i can buy something upstairs in the cafe. Still need to go to a market fresh store and get some nuts and maybe some other veggies/fruits. As fa...

feelin okay so far. the scale says i lost 5 pounds :shock: but i'm not too concerned about that. we'll see when i actually start to feel lighter or more fit. anyway yesterday meals looked like this: 430am - 7oz of frozen red grapes, 3 hard boiled eggs (2 whites,1 whole) 700am - oatmeal (water), 5 eg...

HAHA ya I already chew gum quite a bit. So, I was wondering does this sound like an okay lunch? Lean turkey on wheat w/lettuce,tomatoes,sprouts,spicy yellow peppers,1 slice of provolone and spicy mustard followed by a green apple and water This is what I ate today, planning on something else in abou...

Hey, thanks for the encouragement and the advice. Ya i meant start the Gym on Mon, but definitely becoming more active until then as well. As a matter of fact I took a lengthy walk during lunch today at work and I've gone up 3 flights of stairs quite a few times, even went out of way to use the stai...

Awesome, seriously this is very helpful. Tonight I am going shopping to buy more health food i don't already have. I'm hoping to have access to the gym by Monday (they need to enable badge to work on that door, LOL) Thanks for the links those are uber helpful, esp for exercises i didn't know Whoa th...
