    So far what has been working for me is to keep a diary of what I eat and my workout days. has helped alot. Also there is alot of great support you can get from this site. Today is my 6 weeks on MFP and i have lost a total of 40 lbs on my next weigh in.

    I just try to limit myself with smaller meals in the start of the day so i still have enough calories left for a decent sized dinner or maybe a snack.

    Try not to consider it a diet.....its a lifestyle change also you need to be ready to accept it and move forward

    GL to you, you can add me if you would like!

    Start small!! For me, getting into new habits has been the hardest. So, I started with a walk everyday, and saying, this week I'm going to ADD something healthy to my diet (instead of saying taking something away). I also have a cheat meal once a week, like IHOP (I <3 IHOP!!!), so I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of the deliciousness that is IHOP. :tongue:

    So, I wish you a lot of luck!! This is a wonderful place, with lots of awesome people! Add me if you wish! :smile:

    Hi, I'm new at this site myself, but I have been with other weight loss sites in the past. I love the settings over here and I have already become friends with people really fast... Anyway.. My advice on weight loss is this..

    Logging your foods and creating a deficit.
    Water, water, water and finding out what your protein amount is.
    Working out with something in your belly is best. But I have heard other wise from other dieters on other sites..
    I start with a good pre workout snack of 190-220 calories.. A slim fast comes in handy for this if you don't make your own smoothies or protein drinks. Then a snack after my workout. "protein" is always good. So I try to aim for a protein bar or a snack of peanut butter just a table spoon, and a small apple cut in slices for dipping... It really does keep me balance.. I sometimes put it on 2 slices of bread. Depending on how many calories I burned during my workout. I believe in feeding the body.. It helps keep those binge days and cravings for something late at night time..

    GOOD LUCK!
    Edit... word change.....
