re: PuttaDaForkDown

I just looked at another cal calc and it suggested 2560 cal/day to reach my first goal of 275 by the end of the year. Strange getting 2 different readings that are 1000 cals apart.

I'm trying to stay away from any supplements, idk if y'all would count protein powder in that category. We have a family history of heart disease was a wake up call for me to kinda just do it "naturally" through nutrients I can get through exercise, lofting weights, foods and fluids (nothing outside of water, milk, powerade/Gatorade, maybe a soda on a cheat day though). Of course I know to see a doctor before taking any supplements if i decided i need to but I guess I rather error on the side of caution than to jack up my heart

Granted I'm new to this weight loss thing so I'm taking it slow.

Tangent: if y'all know any good tasting smoothies/shake that don't require any supplements I'd be anxious to try those for a meal replacement or before I go to bed.
