    Finally got back on track this week and lost 6.8 lb in 5 days! That's a lot of bloat and food in my system that finally went away! Already feeling so much better!

    May I ask what your calorie and macro settings were when you first started?

    When I first started, I did the usual 1200 calories, and I was losing a bit, but when I upped it to 1400 calories, I was losing 2 lb a week for a really really long time! So tweaking it even 100 or 200 calories can really make a difference! Also I did 50% carb 30% fat and 20% protein which I believe is what MyFitnessPal starts you off at, but I think doing 45% carb, 30% fat, and 25% protein would be even better...I really do think the higher the protein the better. For quite a while I did 40% protein, and only 30% each of fat and carb which is difficult but awesome! So even something in between the two I think would be great...but first starting out you lose easier and faster than once you're further down so it's not as huge of a deal, like I said I still lost a lot with the 50-30-20 macros!!! You just have to play around with it to find what works best for you!! Best of luck! :)

    Oh I forgot to mention the whole 40% protein thing didn't start until I was 153 lbs already and started weight training, so I don't think it needs to be that high to start out with! :)

    Anyone else feel like they are struggling even more with eating healthy AFTER reaching their goal weight?? I have been struggling so much these last few weeks with it!
