I've decided to restart my Weight Loss Journey as I've been dealing with alot of stressful things lately and I turned to stress eating and now I'm needing to get that weight back off again. I'm looking to lose around 40-50 pounds and hopefully keep it off this time around. Please feel free to add me as a friend and I'll do the same in return.

    Welcome back!
    NOTHING wrong with restarting!
    Back in January 2018, I restarted my weight loss journey after a long, long break, and now my project is maintenance!
    You can do this! It just takes time, persistence and patience!

    Hello, starting based on the advice from my doctor. I asked about the Keto craze, Atkins, etc., he said "EAT FEWER CALORIES AND KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU ARE EATING" My first goal is 50lbs, the app recommended a 1500 calorie/day allowance...would love great ideas for low cal high volume.

    I'm doing the same...was doing really well until a month ago when I began stress/comfort eating like a boss;) Gained over 15lbs and only a fraction of that was water weight. I'm back to planning my meals, drinking more water and getting consistent exercise. I'm wishing all of you good luck with your goals!

    Sorted logging again this morning. Due to the stress in my life, have gained 10 pounds since the beginning of summer. Need to take control and not let the stress guide me. I have been looking for a quick fix through the current fad diets. Simple logging and exercise will help me control my choices.

    Hey there. If 1500 has you feeling hungry, consider slowing down your weight loss plan! You can add back some calories but be in less of a hurry.

    I eat lots of vegetables -- salads, steamed greens, some beans. Plenty of volume, not many calories. You may not want to cut down on calorie dense foods as much as I have, but here are some ideas:
