Goodmorning everyone 
today marks my one month mark of my weight loss journey. I’ve struggled all my life I’ve been on diets every year but none of them ever lasted. I tried shakes and pills and anything you can think of but nothing works better than a healthy diet and commitment. I also do intermittent fasting everyday. I eat within my calories this app gives me! I haven’t stepped food into a gym. But I plan on working out when I move into my house and can use my treadmill. My highest weight ever was 290 almost 300 but I’ve lost a little weight every year getting me to 264.5 on December 19th 2017 and today on Jan 19th I’m 244.0!!!! I am so excited to continue this journey with you guys. Just know that YOU CAN DO IT no matter how long or hard you think it is it WILL come off.

It sounds like a good first month!
I recommend settling into a more-or-less consistent 1-2lb loss per week. In fact, I think 1 lb loss is ideal, because it is sustainable and pretty comfortable (there's always some hunger-- which sucks-- comes with the territory). It has worked for me and it can work for you, too!2 -
Great job! Just think of where you will be by summer! Warning: it will probably slow down as you lose. 3

Awesome! I would love to loose 20 in a month. How many calories do you eat each day?1

Way to go girl. Keep up the good work. Some weeks i would drop 3 lbs but most of the time it was between 1 and 2. Don't deprive yourself too much because that will cause you to get depressed and want to give up. I still can have a small piece of chocolate and i love my popcorn. I get the Orville Redeenbacher's smart pop 94%fat free the small bags. Only 100 calories. I can also have my ice cream and all those little treats i like now and then. I just plug it into my daily menus and it works out great. Another thing i do is use real butter not margarine. I find the real butter taste better and is better for you than the margarine. Margarine has too many preservatives. These are just a few ideas. Be patient and stick to it. I don't consider this a diet. I call it a lifestyle change because you are learning to eat the right way. Be sure to eat 3 meals a day with snacks in between. You need to get your metabolism going first thing in the morning. That was one of my big problems before. I would go all day without eating. Never lost a pound. Now i eat throughout the day i am never hungry and i actually eat more than i did before.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!! We are all here for you.

Tell me more about your IF schedule and what you eat Thanks! Love to hear how IF is working for others.
I do the 16:8 I usually stop eating around 7pm- and start eating again at 11am. I honestly eat so much I feel like haha I don’t starve myself ever I love food but I’ve changed over to healthier options. I eat lots of chicken! Most of my meals have chicken or fish. And I love to cook so I make all fun kinds of dishes and recipes. For snacks I eat lots of different popcorns all good calories all so yummy. I eat yasso and halo ice creams they are both very low in cals and very satisfying lots of apples and veggies. Mostly cauliflower broccoli asparagus and most importantly I make sure to drink a gallon of water everyday
Feel free to add me and ask me anything and that goes for everyone ❤️
Thanks for the support I appreciate you all
