I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds! I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster. I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today. If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me. Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise is one key ingredient to my success. Total Gym. here I come!

I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...
You can do it..you have done it before and you can do it again. Just stick with it! Good Luck!!!
