    I have lost 68 lbs. so far. I credit that loss to the types of food I eat and physical activity. I eat protein and carb together (but I limit my carbs b/c I find that I gain weight when I eat what MF pal has as my goal). I also increased my vegie intake drastically when I started in Jan. 2015. I limit my processed foods such as pre-packaged due to the high sodium content and when I do eat pre-packaged, I check the sodium in it. I limit my sodium to 1500mg-2000mg. max. Everyone is different though and over time you will find what works for you. Good luck on your journey; I am sure you will be as successful as I have been. Just do not get discouraged when you do not have losses or hit a plateau because our bodies are constantly adjusting throughout our changes. Find workout that you enjoy. I will make it more pleasurable and you will want to do it then rather than dread it! One last thing, take it one day at a time; it took more than a day to gain it so it will take more than a day to lose it!

    Thank you so much! I've made a pretty good turn around in what I eat. Just trying to stick to it this time. I may have to try the carb /protein together. I definitely try to watch my sodium & sugar intake now. I think they may be the culprits. Like you said though, it's about what works for me. I'll learn more as I continue. And once again thanks for the advice & kind words. It's appreciated.
