in Getting Started
I've been bouncing from diet to diet looking for that magic diet that will work easily.
Doesn't exist.......
I'm going to try this again, simplify things, stop looking for a miracle and start the hard work I need to do this.
It's not going to be easy, I have to be brave, I have 140lb to lose, it's affecting my health and my life...... :#

    Well done for taking the first step. I've bounced from one to the other and made mself miserable. Now I dont deny anything and I simply eat less and move more. Am happiest I have been in ages. You can do this

    Good luck! This can be done, I've lost 118 lbs.

    It takes lots and lots of patience, being consistent, total honesty with yourself, and remembering you aren't perfect and you don't have to be. Find a reasonable calorie deficit, find an activity that you enjoy and will do. Log your food.

    Here's some links that really helped me:

    you got this. I have lost 35 pounds so far and have another 135 pounds to go. Everyone looks for that magic pill but all it is is temporarily weight loss, then the weight comes back bringing friends. The correct way is to eat right and exercise. There is no secret to weight loss.
