    It's because I'm not losing any weight with anything I try. I'm eating healthy and exercising and nothing is helping I've been using this app for about 5months now. I really just want to see what others are doing to help them lose weight and keep it off.

    I made my own post 3wks ago saying the very same thing. Just as everyone replied to me....i was eating right and exercising but I was overeating (not in a deficit) because I wasn't weighing my food properly. Once I bought a gram scale, I started losing weight.

    Weighing your food and tracking calories the right way are key. Choice of foods and workouts is secondary.

    Hey! I remember your thread. Glad to see you started losing again :)

    Thank you! And thanks so much for beating me over the head about my tracking. It's made a big difference.

    Ok I'm just wanting to lose weight so bad. My diary is open for everyone to see now. I'm going to try very hard to eat my goal calories and not go over. I don't have a scale to measure my food exact but I do use a measuring cup. I think I need to cut back my sugars and pastas. I just need a list of healthy food to eat and how to prepare them so anyone please feel free to message me and add me to help me out. I'm very unhappy with my weight and look

    This wouldn't keep me full for an hour:

    I need much more protein in relationship to carbs. How about some eggs and toast? I like a few ounces of veggies like onions, peppers, and swiss chard with my eggs. The bulk helps keep me fuller. If I have leftover chicken or steak, I'll throw in a little of that as well to up the protein. This keeps me full til lunch:

    If you want something quicker, prep "refrigerator oatmeal" the night before.
