    Feel free to add me. It may look like I eat a lot (1700-2000 kcal/day), but I burn a lot of that through exercise and have been losing a steady 2 lbs/week... A lot of the food I eat is really healthy, so it should give you an idea of what you can do.

    My diary is open and any of you all can add me too. More support the better :) I've lost 9.5 since Jan. 2nd and have about 30 more to go. After failing 3 times by not logging my calories I've decided I probably need to be here for life.

    I keep mine open! I opt for 1500 calories a day but I rarely eat that many. I've already lost 26lbs since the beginning of January. Anyone can add me :)

    This is a great idea! Please add me as well. I think it helps when we can be accountable to people in the same journey! My goal is to get back to a healthy weight based on my body type. I felt my best when I was at 150 lbs about 4 years ago, pre-baby and when I was eating mindfully and exercising regularly. If I lose more weight past 150 it will just be icing on the cake. I try to make short term goals - losing 5 lbs at a time is less daunting than saying I need to lose 20 lol.
    I just started doing calorie counts recently, and it has been challenging to stay at 1200. It would be encouraging to see that other people are able to do it.

    Anyone feel free to add me. My diary is open. Some days I meet macros, some days I do not. Some days I don't add things that I don't know the nutrition into so I use the quick add caloroes feature with a best guess on caloroes.

    I didn't know I could have my diary open. I've been flaking a lot with this diet thing but I recently joined the gym and started eating healthier (when not I do watch my calories). Would love to see what everyone is eating. Feel free to add me.

    I'm 64 and eat about 1700-1800 cals daily and workout everyday. My diary is open and I don't mind people looking at it in the least. I've been here since Sept 2013 and have lost 60 lbs with 10 to go!

    Good luck to all of you!

    I only looked at three diaries so far but I found many common themes. Based on that, here are my suggestions based on my own weight loss journey.

    Eat smaller meals / snacks... every 2.5-3 hrs
    More consistency in meal / snack quality through the day (esp breakfast)
    Portion control
    Limit carbs, sugars, processed foods (fruits, veggies, ok)
    MUST exercise. Do 30 minutes a day, every day.

    Mine is open to friends. I added you, but anyone can add me. Personally, knowing that other people are going to be looking at everything I eat helps me make better choices. But when I don't, I'm okay with honesty

    Hi! Feel free to add me too! :) I'm on my second weight loss journey. I lost 67 lbs after my first baby mostly by logging my food (not here). I fell off the train with my second baby so here I am. 35 lbs to go. I would love some ideas and variety, I tend to eat the same thing for breakfast/lunch for a few weeks at a time.
