in Getting Started
Another start, but this time with a goal... My daughter is getting married in June and Id like to be 60 lbs lighter... I think that's completely doable... Let's hope so... Let's lace up those sneaks and get going....

    My advice is 5lb at a time, I wanted to lose 60lb I didn't need to and its very over whelming I'm currently 46lbs down and you can do this. Weigh solid food measure liquid, log accurately stick to calories MFP gives you and don't rule any food out unless health issues with food groups. Do any exercise you enjoy and it happens slowly slowly but anything worthwhile takes time

    do you have a food scale? it really and truly makes this place work
    log everything before you eat it.
    plan your daily meals and snacks.
    i avoid fast food - since i can never make good choices

    Food scale = great. But the rest of this?

    I don't pre-log anything. I don't plan daily meals or snacks. I don't restrict fast food.

    All foods that I enjoy fit into a reasonable calorie deficit.

    You can do it, OP! Don't over complicate it.
