So I started a calorie deficit 31 weeks ago, drank water, more than I had before each day and I'm now at 73lbs down. Over 33 bags of sugar.

Happy is an understatement, hang in there guys, trust the process, use the App and learn as you go.

    Way to go! Just this morning I was visualizing my 13 pound (so far) loss as bags of sugar and cubes of butter.

    Jim. Well done! I have managed to drop 45 Pounds, but, I'm just stuck at the same weight 178><180 no matter what I do I cannot seem to shift it. My TDEE adjustment put me well below the BMR. What combination of foods did you eat and what was your Caloric intake each Day?? Thanks again and well done.

    Thanks for the comment, I checked my TDEE and I was 2657, so settled on 1850 a day, so 807 deficit, it has worked well for me and I'm slightly increasing calories to 2069 now as my TDEE is increasing due to being slightly more active
