let's start off by saying as of March 11, 2011 i weighed in at 257lbs. I'm 6'2" and 18 yrs old. i've always been a big guy growing up and for some reason i became determined to change my body. it's now june (obviously lol) and i now weigh in at 224lbs. i want to be down to 215 and then i'm sure i'll keep lowering as I get closer to the new goal.
what i've been doing is being very aware of what i eat and only eating 3 times a day. i cut out soda completely and if i have to have fast food, I'll opt for a healthier choice. put simple, i've been eating healthy. little to no exercise yet..but i do work in a kitchen so i'm constantly moving. however, i'm scared that i'm going about this diet the wrong way? my daily calorie intake is typically 1200-1400...i know i should be eating 2000 but thats probably about what i used to eat in the past! i know for a fact that if i ate 2000 calories a day, i would be putting weight back on. unfortunetly, i can tell that i'm starting to get more and more strict with my calorie intake as i'm scared to see the scale go up because i know that my diet isnt going to continue being successful forever.... any suggestions or comments?
