newbie

Well I have just started again today, along with my 2 Daughters, who are also teachers, what I have found very important doing this is try and walk for at least 20 minutes each day and don't eat the calories you burn. It is the only way I can make sure I lose weight consistently. Good luck and keep up the good work, if you have a bad day, forget about it and be good the next. As long as you are having more good days than bad it will already be going in the right direction

Hello! This app is awesome. I am down 86 pounds using it. I would be happy to show you the ropes. Feel free to add me!

-Buy and use a food scale
-Weigh everything accurately; never "guesstimate" because you will always be wrong
-If you don't eat a lot but need to meet your calorie goals, try to find calorie-dense foods including peanut butter, olive oil, etc.
-Don't give up if you go over, going over a little just means you lose a little slower, but remember - it's a long process and you can easily make up for it another day

People always forget that this is not a daily tracker so much as a trend tracker. If you go over by 500 calories one day but are under by 500 calories through the rest of the week, you are golden!

Good luck.
