What has everyone been eating to help lose weight. My goal is to lose 53 pounds. I just started about a week ago. Already 2 pounds lost. Just getting a little bored with my usual meat eggs veggies cottage cheese and water lol

    You can really eat whatever you like as long as it falls within your nutrition and calorie goals. I have lost 27lbs since august 1st doing this. I eat whatever I want as long as I have the calories available. This has made the difference for me this time.

    It's not what, but how much. I'm having leftover home-made chinese right now. Baked tofu, chinese noodles, bok choy, locally grown yellow beans.

    What Jimmie said! I eat a dark chocolate square almost every day, you just have to prioritize what you love most

    If you're looking for ideas, my dinner tonight was yummy! I had baked cod with butter, lemon and garlic, buckwheat groats, and sautéed veggies (carrots, celery, and onion) with some yummy garlic seasoning. It was delicious, and very low calorie - so I had seconds!

    Truly, what was said already about sticking with your calorie goal is key. Eat good food, don't deprive yourself, and experiment with new recipes. I like a fairly large quantity of food; I like to feel full. So, I eat foods that full me up without leaving me feeling deprived (veggies, grains, beans, fruit, fish, and chicken). But if I have a craving for something I'll eat it, I just fit it into my remaining calories for the day.

    Right now I am just going for a walk at a moderate pace for 30 minutes a day. I may start adding in some weight training soon though. Feel free to add me if you need any help or encouragement.

    I started with C25K (couch to 5k app, it's free), finished that and now I run for fun/relieve stress and lift weights about 2-3 days a week. I also walk on steep incline on the treadmill or up hills when I don't run.
