Hey what’s up y’all , I’ve been on and off with this app but I’m here to stay now. So far I’m down about 8 pounds since the start of quarantine and am planning on keeping up! Any suggestions?

    Calorie deficit is the only suggestion you need. That's how weight loss happens, everything else is voluntary

    Welcome back. "You can only fail if you quit" I have been on and off this app as well. I always keep to myself. This time I have opened my food diary and added friends. It makes a huge difference to have people there to talk to and motivate. I have only been back 2 weeks but I am determined to do this. Having support helps a lot. I am focused on health, strength and building life habits. I try to surround myself with people who knows life isn't perfect and we will fail at times but it's one step at a time. Add me if you want to.

    Hi @crismoreno93!
    The calorie deficit as @KrissFlavored mentioned, is the way I’ve done it since February, just before the quarantine was ordered in my state. I’ve lost 19.6 lbs just counting calories with very little exercise. I learned to log any activity that burns a significant amount of calories though as exercise. Just keep a calorie deficit and you should do well.
