What diet (or "Way Of Eating") are you doing, to reach the group goal of "20 Pounds or More Down by June"?

I am a vegan, I just transitioned from a vegetarian to a vegan recently.


Do you vary from day to day, or do you stick to a specific diet?

I do vary from day to day, some days I eat 1500, the next probably 2000. The only specific part of eating for me is to keep my macros around 90% carbs, 5% protein, and 5% fat.

Do you get on the scales every day? Or do you only check once a week?

I try not to use the scale since when you're exercising and dieting at the same time, you can gain muscle and the scale may still stay the same, and that can be very discouraging to most.

How are you feeling? Hungry? Anxious? Optimistic? Going through a rough time?

I feel great most of the time because of how I'm eating and working out

What would you like to say about your diet? Good, bad, tweaks?

My diet isn't bad, I just wish it wasn't winter! I would have much more variety in fruit and vegetables!

What diet (or "Way Of Eating") are you doing, to reach the group goal of "20 Pounds or More Down by June"?
I just eat what I ate before, just less portion and swap some food I usually fry to steam/boil.
Do you vary from day to day, or do you stick to a specific diet?
I mostly eat the same thing, but if my mother(I still live with the entire family) cook something, it'll change my diet that day.
Do you get on the scales every day? Or do you only check once a week?
I get on the scale everyday because I love to see the daily fluctuations.. Sometimes even a few times a day simply because I love to see the data changing.
How are you feeling? Hungry? Anxious? Optimistic? Going through a rough time?
I feel healthier and happier.
What would you like to say about your diet? Good, bad, tweaks?
I can't say that it's good or bad since it'll differs from person to person.. For me it's enough already, though not the healthiest.

My diet now is just eating more fruits, veggies, and lean protein sources. I was eating like garbage before with a lot of fast/processed foods. My main goal is to stay within 5% of my macros, so 50-25-25 is the breakdown for me personally. I'm weighing EVERYTHING when I eat at home and its helping me be more cognizant of portion sizes. I still eat out occasionally, but when I do, I choose the healthier options by researching the nutrition facts online before I go. I'm trying to remember that this is a life change that I want to make permanently, so I'm just adjusting my CHOICES accordingly.
My foods vary day to day because I get bored easily, and I want to try some new things. I just focus on my macro goals rather than eating certain specific things.
I only weigh once a week since all the little variations are often due to external factors like whether your hydrated/time of day, plus it keeps me from getting down on myself if the numbers move up.
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about things this time. I am hungry sometimes, but now I'm trying to reach for snacks that are more satisfying rather than chips or other junk like in the past. I know I'll screw up occasionally and I also know that's natural. I'm hoping that my more realistic attitude this time will help make the change from temporary to permanent.
The only other thing I'll say about my diet is I need to try a wider variety of vegetables. I'll eat pretty much any fruit, but veggies are limited and I feel like I'm probably missing out on some good stuff right now due to a lifelong lack of exposure

I watch my calorie intake, I try not to go over 1300 a day. I clean a lot and recently started walking with the kids. On pretty days I walk when I get my son off the bus. For me not food is off limits. If I want a candy bar I get it as long as it fits in my daily allowance. It doesn't happen often and it helps me from the binges I use to do. I have stuck with it for almost 60 days and am down 35 pounds.

I try to stick to once a week on weigh in's. Doing that I see a bigger loss to keep me motivated.

I am rarely hungry eating the way I do.

This year has hit me with one blow after another. On January 12th my youngest was diagnosed with Autism. It wasn't a surprise but it still stung. Now we are looking into therapies for him. On January 31st my favorite Aunt passed away. She was my second mom. And yesterday my bf got a letter from work stating they are shutting their doors on May 1st. My first instinct was to grab something sweet. Then I thought I have come to give in.

As far as my diet I am learning daily. It's good for now but will be tweeked along the way. I am in for the long haul. I have 85 pounds left to lose and I will do it.

I'm on keto so I keep to less than 20g carbs each day. I keep calories targeted 1000 cals as a limit but when I exercise in the morning it really kickstarts my metab so 1000-1200 is what I hang around. Weight loss is a goal but I'm focused on keeping my energy levels up and discipline in. Feeling great and I stay more full then with a carby diet, as soon as I cut sugar and starches out my belly deflates and my legs hold less water too!

To keep myself from oversnacking after work (I get out late) I take some hot tea. This has been really successful!

I actually need help with this. I do rather well throughout the week staying around my goal. The weekends are a challenge though.
I do a 90 minute Zumba class on Saturdays so that helps but I still typically eat poorly on Saturday and Sunday.
Sometimes I will have dropped a pound or two during the week and lose that progress over the weekend.
What does everyone do to stay on track during the weekend?

I don't have a 'set' diet but I'm trying to eat tons of vegetables with a source of protein every meal. I guess you could call it ' fill your plate with bulky but low calorie vegetables so it looks like you are eating a lot' diet! and staying under the calorie goal. I also follow the rule of don't eat white stuff...meaning white bread or pasta. High fiber stuff makes me feel full so I stick with that.
