    Great post! The metrics part for me is key. Most people starting out have no idea how big their portion sizes really are in terms of calories and weighing portions out (of carbs in particular!) can be a huge shock - it certainly was to me! Usually once you've been doing it for a couple of months and forming good habits you can hopefully tell by sight...

    How do I start a reply post without quoting someone? I don't see a 'reply' button anywhere.

    How do I delete foods I entered in error? Actually, in an impulse of over-enthusiasm. How do I delete them from the list of foods in my 'recent' and 'preferred' lists?

    Thanks!

    At the bottom of the page is the reply box, so just scroll down.

    On the web, just click the red circle to the right of the entry; on the app, swipe it left until you get a delete box. You can't delete foods from your recent page, only from frequent.

    Great post. I will need to get a food scale because I eyeball all the time. Plus my boyfriend makes dinner most of the time and then gives me good sized portions. Might help him with portion control too.

    I hadn't really thought about pictures, I try to avoid them lol b uh t I can see how they would be motivational when you are fit, seeing what you don't want to go back to. :) I'm just starting my journey with jillian Michaels body revolution, so I might do this.

    I shouldn't even go here, but if you need motivation: Have any of you seen the TV show, My 600 pound life? OMG that is motivation to me. I realize these people all have some kind of problem other than being morbidly overweight. And hopefully I would never have gotten that big no matter what I ate, but just the thought of it is enough to consider what I eat.
    What I'm trying to do now is remember the word, "savor". If I savor each bite while I eat it, it makes me enjoy it more and slow down in the process. I am one of those people that just likes food, so I do want to savor each bite.

    Have a great and healthy day, all.

    Hi guys. I am new to this program. I am excited about losing this extra fat that has gotten very comfortable on my body. I don't want it and am willing to work hard to get rid of it. The above recommendations are fantastic. The hard part for me will be getting enough sleep. I will need to take naps when I can. Thanks for providing a supportive community.

    I was looking for this thread and couldn't find it in announcements? Is this not a sticky? I'm shocked as it is the go-to thread for lots of newcomers.

    My problem is I really love the TASTE of food! (I know everyone does lol) but if I could just get it in my head that this isn't the last time I will have beef and gravy, and that I don't need to go back for that second plate because I will taste it again another day.... Then maybe portion control would be a lot easier lol.
