Heya guys join my group if you would like! Called Positive vibes!0

My goal is to lose 90lbs. I have lost 26 so far! It is important to not get discouraged but to just move forward if you experience a "set back" and that is what keeps me going! I try not to beat myself up when I treat myself rather just encourage myself to continue to eat healthier going forward. It has been hard but an exciting life change!3

That's awesome! That's some good advice! Good luck!2

Recognizing that "A treat is not necessarily a cheat". And pre-logging, so that I can make sure I'm using most of my calories on healthy foods, but have enough room for indulgences. (Example: I made chocolate truffles this week. Each one? 82 calories. I know that if I just pop one into my mouth, some of my issues with food will surface in the form of guilty and negative self-talk. "You just blew the diet! All that weight is going to come flying back!" Somehow, when I log before I eat, I can see for myself, "It's 82 calories. It didn't take me over my daily total. I'm still on track. I haven't blown anything." And now, if I have that truffle... that's all I have. I don't get the side of guilt and negativity that always used to come included.)
I don't have any foods that are completely off-limits to me from a weight-loss perspective. (I'm kosher and vegetarian, for religious and health reasons, but I put ON all this weight being kosher and vegetarian; I know there's nothing magical about either way of eating.) I have foods I choose to eat every day, foods I choose to eat a couple of times a week (or less frequently), and foods I rarely eat because they normally aren't worth the calories. (One of my favorite Middle-Eastern restaurants serves "sambuskasi", which is a turnover stuffed with veggies and hard eggs, then deep-fried. And by turnover? I mean size of a calzone. I don't order it anymore because I haven't got a clue how to log it, I know it's calorie-dense, and right now I'm choosing not to have it. That doesn't mean I'll never eat it again, or even that I'll wait until I've lost all the weight I want to before I order it. It just means that right here, right now, I don't want to spend however many calories on a single meal.)
I check restaurant menus beforehand and figure out what I want to order and what the calories are likely to be. I don't eat out that much, but I've been on MFP for just over 6 months and have probably gone out/had takeout pizza about 6 or 8 times.
I eat mostly healthy, but make some low-calorie desserts. And snack a lot on popcorn, string cheese, and dry cereal.3 -
I am in 60 down 65 to go.2

I lost 92 so far. 8 lbs to go until my 100 lb goal!!! Can't wait. I have about 40-50 more to go and it's gotten pretty easy by now
