    welcome back.

    Here's what worked for me:

    *weigh/measure/log all the food you eat - every bite - every day
    *eat at a healthy deficit from your TDEE (if you don't know what that is - google TDEE calculators)
    *don't eliminate all the foods you like - learn moderation
    *find something you like to do and then do it consistently
    *have a ton of patience
    *stop starting over - just keep going! If you stumble, get back on track!

    Good Luck!

    Hi there! Im new here too. When it comes to a lifestyle change it is mind over matter. Changing your eating habits is a struggle especially the first few weeks. When start to feel hungry or get a craving I try to drink a bottle of water and eat an apple with a little peanut butter, it fills you up. And even if it may not be as delicious as that chocolate may be it is satisfying. What has been your biggest struggle so far? I tried the meal replacement thing too and honestly its not for me. I like food too much. instead im just on a weighed out meal plan, cutting out red meat, soda, energy drinks etc and trying to eat complex carbs.

    ^^ Great advice above arleady!

    if you're detoxing some sugar your body will kick in the cravings, but it doesnt' "NEED" what you Think you need.

    Food is Nutrition! Remember that. When you want to reach fo for a cupcake. how is that Fueling your body? how is it helping your cells do their thing? not very well... it Really likes that apple though. :)

    you will slip up at times - that is what we are here for. Don't stop getting right back up!!!!!!!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like

    Hi, I'm now seven days into it and have lost almost 11 pounds and an inch off my waist. I stuck with it even when I had a tough couple of days. I feel fantastic, full of energy and very motivated right now. Hope I can keep it going. Thanks for your encouragement
