Hi! I am on this journey too. Just restarted. Finally at a place where I can focus on this, instead of giving it a quarter(not even a half) hearted try. Maybe this time, I can stick with it. 😁3

When I started, I had 110 pounds to lose. I still have 70 pounds to go. I'm new to the "community" part of the app but happy to learn so we can support each other 4

I started on the first of the year at 307 pounds with high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high cholesterol and who knows what else. I cut out the sugar and my hunger pangs and cravings are mostly gone. Most members I've encountered are focused on calorie counts and tell me I can lose weight simply by restricting calorie intake. I've tried that at least a dozen times in my 50 year struggle with weight. It works but is not sustainable. Most diets rely on "diet" foods or meals. I've found eating "one ingredient" foods like fresh fruits, vegetables and meats is better. I lost over 20 pounds in January. I eat healthy and most of my vitals are heading towards normal. This is my experience. I'm looking for someone to share with and discuss. Gotta run, be back soon.

Back on the wagon again to try one again! I am starting out at 246 lbs. 5 ft. tall and my diabetes is somewhat out of control for me. It is hard to face that you have a food addiction or you want to bury your emotions in the foods you eat. I just know that if I don't stop, I won't stop. I do feel so much better when I weigh less, even 20 lbs. less! I think this time around, some support from fellow friends in the same boat will help.3

How do we start a Group? We can call it the "100 CLUB", and start a Blog.

What do you base your assumption on? My Diary? A hunch? How many members enter every morsel in their diaries? Many people on this site are too quick to criticize. It's very discouraging and could be considered a form of bullying. I'm telling my story, trying to generate some dialogue. If your criticism isn't constructive we may be better off without it.
Most of that weight was water. The swelling in my feet and ankles is gone and my blood pressure is back to normal. I see my cardiologist on a regular basis so I'm in good hands. I expect to lose 1-2 pounds a week for the foreseeable future. I'm working on menu items that include more fiber, protein and fat. I'm a work in progress. Getting rid of the raw and processed sugar was a major milestone for me, but only the first step.
Gotta go, diners ready!

Hey John - I agree with you. Everyone is different, and we all should know that, but there will always be a few who think their way is the only way because it works for them. I agree most of the 20 pound loss was water. I take lasix and if I miss a day, my weight can jump up to 5 pounds, and the next day I'll take it and be running to the bathrom every half hour, lol. I started again yesterday at 324, so I've a LOT to lose.5 -

Pointing out that under-eating isn't helpful or good is constructive. And yes I base it on your diary, many days you go under even the recommended 1500cal for men. Obviously at the end of the day you're going to do whatever it is you prefer, but any newbie who happens to look at your diary is going to get the wrong idea about safe and ideal weight loss. Most of that weight probably was water, some was also possibly muscle loss. Muscle loss that wouldn't have happened if your deficit wasn't so extreme. That's not bullying that's pointing the difference of good and not-so-good weight loss.
As for how many members enter every morsel? I'd venture to guess most if not all who've gotten the hang of tracking enter everything they eat. Morsels included. Because it all adds up especially when the deficit gets smaller.4 -

That's amazing! That's where I'm at. 300 pounds. I just found out recently my thyroid is being slow. I've been the same weight for two years. 250 to 260 pounds. Then in four months I gained forty pounds! I thought it was stress but, nope.2 -

It's been up and down for sure! First it was stress with family. The stress of food for holiday's wasn't a issue, for once. It was my family. Then, we thought I was pregnant. (Since, hormones were out of wack and I was gaining weight. Like, I was breathing the calories in.) Turned out it was my thyroid acting up. Which, was my fault for not even considering that being an issues. I just assumed stress. Now, that I'm on the right track with my body and know whats going on. It's been going good. I finally got my weight to level out. Now, just need to lose the weight, I gained. 0
