Over the next few weeks my goal is to keep as closely to the recommended Total Daily Energy Expenditure calculations so helpfully provided by the site (IIFYM )http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/#

I've used Dieter Market's Turbo Protein Diet and a meat-chicken free Atkins approach as attempts to combat remaining bad fat storage in the past, and weight loss did occur. I've managed to maintain a decent weight for my now 4' 10" height and age for about 15 years, but that lingering fat reminds me I cannot be as healthy with it as I would be without it.

I hope to use the calculated amount of calories for my size and current weight and increased and targeted exercise to burn off that bad fat and hopefully preserve and increase muscle mass.

As for Fat Secret, the food charting, the community of posters sharing their goals and meeting their challenges and the challenges made available all add up to the inspiration and motivation to keep on keeping on to become every bit as healthy as one can be because we basically only get one ticket to ride out this life.

I'm looking forward to meeting the couple of challenges I've recently joined with my particular goal in mind.
