in Getting Started
So I joined today and it just seems like I 'think' I know how I can consistently lose the weight I want because I've lost weight before(gained it back

    Thank you for the advice. Mindset is my biggest struggle out of all of them but I will try my best to change.

    If you have a "diet" mentality it means you will always be on the lose..gain..lose gain merry go round. Changing the way you eat takes time and dedication! It's a life change!
    Diet (hate this word)

    Start just logging what you eat, accurately and consistently. Take notes on how you feel. Were you hungry all day? Tired or energetic? You'll start to see where you waste calories, what foods fill you up and which leave you hungry in an hour. Tweak from there.

    Generally people find it helps to stop spending calories on beverages and to increase the fiber and protein in each meal. You'll need to find what works for you. Good luck!

    Hi Chenie
    Strategies which I intend to employ are:
    log my meals and stay under the calorific count
    minimum 30 minutes per day Monday to Friday
    5 healthy food swaps ie potato for sweet potato
    1 complete denial: Bread
    never be hungry but always snack healthily
    one thing a day to nibble on that i love. Ie. small pack of sweet popcorn under 100 calories
    No exercise weekends if I do is because I want to!
    let's see how I go after a month happy for you to add me :)

    I've gained weight back too. Most people will.

    Baby steps - find small changes that can become permanent changes. These will add up over time.
