I have never weighted this much before

Hey I've got to that point where I've never weighed. As much as I currently do and starting tomorrow gonna start JM ripped in 30 and start eating loss and stopping boredom eating xxx

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am 19 years old and 5 feet tall. My highest weight was 190 pounds (that was on April 28) And I am already down almost 10 pounds with moderate exercise and calorie counting. I love to cook too and almost always eat at home. Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like. I know from experience that it is much easier to stay on the wagon if you have some accountability buddies! Best of luck!

The reason most diets fail is because they aren't sustainable. I also tried every diet in the book and always ended up right back to where I started.
For long term success, this has to be a lifestyle change. I couldn't imagine eating low carb for life. That wouldn't be a sustainable diet for me. Instead I learned portion control and moderation. Now I eat the food that I like but in the correct portions.
I lost all my weight and have kept it off for three years now. All I had to do was realize that weight loss came down to calories.
As long as you eat less then you burn, you will lose weight. Calories in calories out.
For weight loss, you need a calorie deficit .
Get yourself a food scale and learn how to weigh your solids and use measuring cups for your liquids.
Learn how to log accurately .
Once you consistently create a calorie deficit you will lose weight.

It's all about calories in vs calories out. If anyone tries to tell you anything else, it's a lie.

Unless you've gone more than a week without food, you don't know what hungry feels like.

Beware the starvation mode myth, but obviously don't starve yourself. Always trust calories in vs calories out.

If it's not water it has calories in it. Do not trust a zero calorie label. There is no such thing as a zero calorie food or drink 0 on a nutrition label means less than 5.

If you have any medical problems, get off the forums and go see a doctor. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet and when you add a medical issue to that it can be very dangerous.

Don't give up. You will have ups and downs and it will be a struggle at times, but you are worth it.

Hi! I'm in the same boat. I started my journey at 217lbs. I'm now down to 207 through the Banting lifestyle. It's a low carb high fat diet. I find it really easy to follow because it integrates with daily life so seamlessly. It's also really fun to look at and try all the recipes. It's like a strategy game! Good luck!

Watch your portions. That's where you get caught up thinking that "well i'm working out so I can eat more." While that is true, you have to eat the right things at the right amount.
Also if you are hungry out of boredom or just need to push through till an appropriate snack time or lunch/dinner, drink water.
Water will fill you up, keep your hydrated, and it's calorie free. Drink more than 8 glasses a day and you'll start to see some changes. If you don't like the taste (I guess), spike it up with some lemons, mint, strawberries, etc. I especially like lemon, lime and cucumber.
