Hello, I DECIDED! not to give up on losing weight, im not trying to look good for the summer, I want to do it to be in a better shape! Weight Unknown, last time I was at that doctors, it was like 290 plus.. We did test to check and see if I had diabetes or something.. all good... and I want to keep it that way

And I need some foods that I can eat daily, I have no problem eating the same foods everyday
If you suggest switching it up, tell me why

What im eating currently daily, is McDonald's 3Pancakes w/1 Syrup & 1Butter for breakfast, then in the later eat a whole pizza! by myself DiGeno pizza, I believe... Im cutting the pizza out of the diet So I use to eat only Twice a day, And work at home, so I barely go outside

What I plan to do, is a lot of in house exercise and a have good food diet, leave suggestions in reply

Oh I can cook, if needed

First off, I would suggest only having McDonalds or Pizza once per week. Usually it doesn't work well to completely cut something out of your diet, but if you slowly lower it to once a week or twice per month it is a lot easier. Everything is OK in moderation. Maybe, instead of eating the whole pizza, eat half the pizza one day and the other half the next day. Also I would suggest cooking your meals. It is much healthier and you will get a variety of needed nutrition. Some examples: Baked salmon with roasted vegetables on the side, with a side salad. (dressing made with greek yogurt is really good, or balsamic vinaigrette etc) Also chicken, lean steak, and other types of fish are good proteins. Make a batch of hard boiled eggs and then eat them throughout the week as a snack. I like yogurt and string cheese as snacks too, as well as almonds, trail mix etc. I like to use Pinterest to find healthy meal ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a lot of the times you can just print it out so you have your recipe and shopping list all in one I also agree with the person that said to avoid "light/low fat" versions of foods. usually those have a bunch of added preservatives, sugars, and unhealthy stuff thats worse for you than if you were to just have the full fat version. Like I said its about moderation. I would get a food scale so that you can get an idea of what actual portion sizes look like. I can pretty much estimate 3 oz of chicken etc now that Ive been using a food scale for so long.

As for exercise I would start off slowly with like a 10-15 minute walk after dinner or in the morning, because exercising can be pretty hard on your body when you are that overweight. Maybe do some light weight lifting to build muscle. I could go on and on, message me if you have any questions


Also ignore the haters on here, there are a lot of mean and negative people.

You're adorable. I've spent more time dieting than you have spent breathing.

Agree. Look at the diary... scary.[/quote]

I know, right? The amount of food I have to consume in order to lose weight is utterly terrifying. The first time I quit restricting calories, I lost 50 lbs. But I couldn't keep it up. It is hard work to eat enough; I just got tired of eating all the time. Plus there's that whole "who wants to feed something that is so disgusting?" thing. I mean, as horrified as you two are about my disgusting, hideous existence, I hate it so much more than you can ever imagine. I don't want to take care of it - what I want to do is punish it.

But don't let the 0 pounds lost bit fool you. When I really eat the way I'm supposed to, the fat comes off. I don't own a scale, so there are no weekly weigh-ins. My clothes are looser, that's progress.

To answer the original question, most of my meals are less than 200 calories. Limit carbs, limit sugars, portion CONTROL. I could give you specific meals but the OP is not ready for that.

For real? Hmm. Why the McDonalds breakfast everyday? And pizza every day? Sure, you could still eat these in smaller portions and be within MFP recommended calories but you're getting so much fat, sugar and salt and barely any fruit and veg.

I love eggs for breakfast, they fill me up and taste good but are high in protein. Have an omelet with mushrooms and tomato.

For lunch you could make vegetable soup (gazillions of combinations of veg out there) with a bread roll.

For tea have a plate of food with a third veg, a third carbs (potato, pasta, couscous, noodles etc) and a protein (chicken, pork, beef etc).

Snack on fruit, nuts, berries, yoghurt.

But really you can eat anything as long as it's in the daily limit myfitnesspal sets and lose weight. You'll be allowed way more than me (my husband is twice my size so I know this) and there is zero reason to be hungry. You'll save a fortune!

Prepare your own food, record and track it all. It's better for you insides, your skin, everything - you need to get more good stuff in you!

No need to stop pizza totally but it's treat food. Especially if you're eating greasy, heavy fast food shop versions. You could try making your own from scratch.

You don't mention exercise... You don't have to join a gym. Find something that fits your life and you'll stick at it. I walk our dog daily and most days do a 30 minute cycle on our spin bike at home - I watch my favourite telly shows while I'm doing it.
