Hello I wish you and yours all the best. I was wondering if you had tried any diet programs? There are a bunch of people here that do different diet programs that I seen on here. I just count my calories, and work out. Let me know what you want.

Hey welcome! I just wanted to share with you what has worked best for me and what I have learned. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. Instead of doing a diet, I have slowly started eating more fruits and vegetables and measure everything. Then I plug it into the calorie counter. I ave managed to loose 10 lbs and I still eat the stuff I like. I just eat one serving of it and plug it into my food tracker. Another thing I do is instead of eating meals, I eat a serving of something every 2-3 hours, this way I'm not getting over hungry and I am not overeating. I learned that if you eat protein in the mourning instead of high carb(cereal, bagel, toast) I don't have the cravings for the bad stuff. I also work out at least 45 mins each day. The great thing I learned about this too and this might help you, you don't have to do it all at once. As long as you can reach and maintain your target heart rate for at least ten minutes you are gaining benefits. Other things I do are adding fitness in my everyday life. Park as far away as you can and walk as quickly as you can to wherever you have to go. Choose stairs instead of elevators. I even do squats or side bends while I brush my teeth. Anyway I hope I didn't overwhelm you, just try to pick a few of these ideas and work with them. If you have any questions feel free to message or add me. You've already made a great start by finding MFP.

Thanks to all of you! I need to lose 50- 60 lbs and want to do it without pills> I am determined and so glad I stumbled across this site. I finally see a lil daylight at the end of the tunnel. I eat when I am nervous and depressed or worried so someday's it seems like thats all I do. Hopefully having to keep a log of my intake will encourage me to get busy instead of eat, eat, eat!
