I’ve been on this website on/off. Lost 30 lbs the first time I used it and was able to keep it off. but after having a baby and taking meds, I gained them back plus more. I’m open to friends of all colors and race lol but being Hispanic it’s hard to incorporate healthy foods with most of our traditional dishes so it would be nice to see how others were able to substitute/tweak traditional recipes. Happy Losing! Add me 😊

I lost about 180lbs and have kept it off for about 4-5 years now...
Biggest tips I can give, get yourself an oil spray bottle and anytime you use oil to cook, spray the pan just 2 or 3 times, this can really cut your calories from oil...
Also I lived off of tacos lol, mostly beans... 2 tortillas with a slice of pepper jack and about 50 calories worth of black beans in each, just mash them... Sirachi is also a good alternative for salsa... About 500 calories for the pair...
I also love fish tacos as well... But always grilled, never breaded and fried...
If you eat out... Eat half and save half...
The biggest changes I've made overall, less oil to no oil, more vegetables and less meat mixed in, brown rice, eating less...
Hope some of that helps!
I feel you on that. I've cut out junk food for the last week. Its been hard, but eating fruits has helped a lot. Pineapple, strawberries, grapes, cuties etc.
You can always sub out cauliflower rice for regular rice if you want to reduce calore. A ir just half the amount of rice you use and double the amount of chicken.
I find I struggle when I have too much of the traiditonal American cusine, like fast food, pizza, burgers, etc.
