in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 42 year old that needs to lose about 40-50 pounds. So far in the last week I lost 8 pounds but I'm guessing that's water weight or my scales broken. Hope to find some friends that can help motivate me to continue. I'm usually surrounded by junk food and ice cream is definitely an addiction of mine.

Wish me luck!

Chuck

    Oh well, I guess my scale was broken, looks like I gained back 3 pounds over the weekend.
    Still looking for friends to help motivate each other. Not sure if anybody saw my original post or not.

    Just keep tracking and if you stay under your calories you will succeed. I find keeping carbs to 100g or less helps me to not crave sugary treats.

    Yeh, make sure you track everything, good and bad. When you track the bad it helps you to see where you are going wrong and we often lie to ourselves about how much we've actually eaten. Make sure you find your proper allowance so you're not starving yourself and you'll get to your goal :drinker:
