is Calorie King affordable? I don't know much about counting Calories but a friend does it through a personal trainer and I think she keeps her's below 2000 and she is not BF. It could be 1500 or 1800 even. I'll ask her when I speak to her. Its to achieve a 500gram loss a week which is sensible.
I'm another one who's using CK... it's my threat lol. If I don't lose much weight I have to track the calories of my food (which I hate doing & find too time consuming). Like Lilias said, it's a great kick-starter and helps you realise where you might be consuming too much. Most of the time (last 2 months) it's working well as a threat for me and I just dip in occasionally to check where I could improve my eating... for e.g. I realised last week I'd started to have too many high calorie drinks & a bit too much chocky. My calorie allowance per day (BF'ing) is 1880... and when I realise that i'm "spending" 500-600 cals/day on snacks I know I have to be careful. My DH has also done his profile (he's a tall/big feller) and he gets 2000 a day. Once i'm not BF'ing, my cals are 500 a day less which is waaaaaaay harder. That means really no naughties at all!

JBM - congrats on your PG!

Vixstar - like I said it can be a PITA, and a bit confusing to start with, but I tried WW the other year then went to CK cos it was free. I think the CK system is not quite as good but it still gets you on the right track which is all that matters. I found it took a lot of the emotion out of my eating and just turned it into a mathematical equation.. i.e. I've got 100cal left at 9pm what food shall I spend it on. I found I lose weight better doing WW or CK than I ever had before and understood WHY I had gained weight earlier.
