Hello! New here. Trying to get rid of 30 pounds!

Hey, I'm just starting out too. Was 120 for a long time before gaining weight the last few years. Stress and age, I guess. It's really discouraging when you try to cut back and your weight stays the same. I'm hoping actually keeping track of the calories I eat rather than starving myself will help. We'll see. Good luck, you are not alone!

I've lost 35lbs so far and have more to go. Add me if you'd like!

Our numbers are the exact same girlfriend! I'm 5'5 and teetering on 149-150lbs (every pound counts, right lol). I'm hoping to get back down to my normal body size of 125-130! Feel free to add me!

I've lost about 45 lbs by being on track with my meals, I eat something atleast every 3 hours. I consume my body weight in grams of protein a day to burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass.

I'm looking to Drop at least 20-25. I have found that keep track of everything that I'm eating has really made me realize that i was eating to much and all junk. Now i need to find time to work out.

Hey! I have similar goals, I am 5'2" and weigh 155 lbs. Would love to be 125 again. I am trying Intermittent Fasting, just to shake things up. I am a Zumba instructor (!) so I work out every day. Working out though, has just made me hungry, then I eat more. So logging everything I eat is crucial. Good luck! Add me if you want.

You can SO do this!!!! I lost 65 pounds. Back to or better Than when I was playing ball. Divorce happened ... not nearly as far to go... maybe 20 but it is so attainable....... let's do this

Grtz on joining up. It's a great site with lots of support, good info (taken with a grain of salt), and great app to help keep you on track.

As far as the diet, I don't "diet"...I just watch calories in/out (currently on 1500 a day, but usually go over and do 1800 - which is my base, so Im still losing). If I really REALLY want a cheeseburger one day, I just work harder the next. With me, I've found that being a diet Nazi doesn't work; I fall off the wagon and don't get back until 3 months later, where the cycle repeats itself. If I let go once a week or once every two weeks, I keep a better mental attitude and seem to work harder during my exercises, since I'm happy. It's taken me a while, but I finally learned to listen to my body, and it does work. Like we use to say in the Marine Corps, "Good to be hard, hard to be smart!"

You didn't mention exercise, but I would suggest you at least incorporate some walking into your week (1 mile 3 times a week or so), if your doctor says it's OK. You would be surprised the benefits it gives, maybe even more mentally than physically.

Hey! Welcome! I'm quite a bit taller 5'8 137 lbs and aiming for 130 but still soup is great lentils soup, canned leek and potato soup, cream of tomato, minestrone is a good or general vegetable soup or just all canned soup , sweet potato mash is good (it's easier to eat mash potato) oatmeal for breakfast /wholemeal toast with whatever you like on it i usually have a cheap fish paté (40p tins sardine and tomato, Tuna and sweetcorn, salmon ) lots of walking is easier than going to the gym ican't stand gym. Lots of water/tea/coffee/sugar free blackcurrant robinsons and stretching if you don't like yoga (today was a bad day for me lol but i think we should start together! BTW your makeup is awesome!
