I am comfortable eating in the 1250-1500 calorie range.  I think you can see that I eat real food and don't attempt to starve myself to get a lower number on a scale.  I've done that.  It set me back the last time and caused me to regain 40 lbs (also due to emotional eating) because I wasn't doing anything other than tricking the scale by eating far less than I should.  My approach now is to be laid back about the weight loss thing, eat a well balanced diet and get my butt up off the couch for regular exercise.

I have a plan.  I prepare to execute the plan.  I follow the plan, day in and day out.  And I don't let the calendar drive my goals anymore.  By taking a step back from the "OMG did I lose 2 ounces yesterday" approach and simply doing the work day to day I am seeing real lasting results.   I want to see a lower number.  I expect to see a lower number if I am doing the work.  It still takes work to not let the scale determine my motivation.  However, consistent diet and exercise will get me to my goal.  That is an absolute fact.

I keep reading about people struggling with drinking their water. My plan is simple. I drink a 16 oz glass every 2 hours at work. By the end of the day I have had 64 oz of water. When I get home I drink one or two 20 oz glasses of water. Plan your water like you plan your diet and exercise and then it is a snap to get it all in.
