New to this!! Help needed!

Hello Ems and Welcome. Remember, it is not a low calorie diet, just a sensible and healthy new way of life. You can add me as a friend and we can motivate each other. One tip is you should finish filling out your profile information, as it is very therapeutic for you, and helps others looking for support and like minds. Someone may be looking for friend or support and they are able to relate to you and your story. It helped me a lot filling out the profile items. It was a like a kick in the gut and a wake up call. haha. Good luck to you and don't be a stranger. Oh, one other suggestion, you can eat whatever you like, just burn more than you eat. But it also makes sense to eat good nutrition, too. Just keep to your allowed calories.

hey and welcome. Everything can be eaten in moderation. The longer you record and log the easier you will find it to see what sort of foods you should be eating. Being honest with yourself is the first step. If you don't take note of everything your taking in even glasses of squash then you wont know what you need to change. Logging food has made me accountable to myself. I have found once I get it down in black and white I then see where im going wrong (or right) and then I can re evaluate. Its not just a diet though. Its a change of lifestyle. It has to be a permenant change as once you have lost the weight you don't want to revert back and then gain the weight back. Its a learning curve. We are all in the same boat in one way or another. some losing, some maintain, some gaining but we are all trying to make a change for the better.

I will send you a friend request, feel free to accept or decline. Im here to support anyone that needs it.
and good luck on your new journey.
