in Health and Weight Loss
I decided that starting Monday 1/15/2018 I will start to eat right and exercise. I want to benefit it for me and my health. I’m planning on using this app to get me in the right place. My favorite machine at the gym is the elliptical so, that’s where you will find me for now on starting Monday.

    Congrats on taking a step in the right direction for yourself! To lose weight you just need to be in a calorie deficit, so if using the elliptical helps get you there then get after it! Start today! Good luck to you.

    Congratulations on making that decision, I am an elliptical fan too (as I have one at home), I started a week ago with 65Lb to lose so very similar, good luck in your weight loss journey :smile:

    Don't think about it as "eating right", to lose weight and keep it off, you just have to consistently eat less, not a lot less, just a little less, but forever. You can eat what you want and like, as long as you eat less. You don't have to exercise, but it's good for you, so do it if you like it. Maybe that makes weightloss seems less scary and more doable and worthwhile, so you can start today?

    I am looking to lose the same amount. I am doing the Keto diet. My body seems to respond well to it. Many years ago I used Adkin’s to get into bikini shape. I didn’t have this much to lose, but it worked well. If you want someone as a running mate, let me know:)

    Good luck! You can do it!! I just hit the 60lb loss mark this week. This app is so helpful. Make sure your are logging everything that you eat accurately. Weigh and measure your foods! It's all about calories in vs calories out. Exercise is great but not necessary for weight loss, unless you use it to help with your deficit. I'll say though, exercise has been a huge motivator for me. Seeing myself progress at the gym has helped me stay focused on what I'm eating. It's exciting to see the things your body can do!

    Started today. Not necessarily keto but along those lines. Want to lose 50-60 also <3 wondering if 3.5# a week is realistic and where calorie targets need to be to maintain this without losing lean muscle. Goal is 50 down by memorial wknd. Definitely needing cheerleading <3 Glad to cheer you on too!
