New and confused!

Ok, I've been on my diet for 3 weeks now... With barley any weight loss and no inches at all. Can I get some friends to add me and check my food out? I am pretty sure I'm not eating right.. But I used to eat fast food every day and drink soda every day. Sooooo I'm. Not to great about eating healthy.. I haven't had any soda or fast food in 3 weeks. I'd really appreciate some tips. Thanks!

Current weight:200
Starting weight:202
Goal weight:140

Sure, I'll add you. You're actually in almost the exact same situation as my wife; she's about your same weight and trying to lose almost the same amount.

Oh, and to top it off you're also in Washington. We live down in Vancouver.

I would double-check the data in "Homemade - Sauteed Mushrooms In Butter, 4 oz" as the reported calories seem excessive.

Yep add me on, I have been eating for many years.

Give yourself and your body time to adjust.

My FL is full to capacity but I will give you some very useful links...

This one pretty much covers most of what you need to know...

This one is self explanatory...

Pretty much the truth about meal timing...

I would highly recommend joining this group (just be sure to read the stickies)...

Be honest, consistent and self forgiving when you occasionally mess up.

Good luck OP

Just from a quick look at your food diary, it looks like you are starving yourself. If the entries are right, you aren't eating enough. When in starvation mode, your body won't burn extra calories - it just shuts down. I'm 3 lbs into a 50 lb goal myself, we can help each other along. FR sent.
