    Congrats on the big loss your first week. Just wanted to remind you that calories make you lose weight not macros. A calorie is a calorie whether itโ€™s from sugar, fat, carbs, protein, the body doesnโ€™t know the difference in terms of calories. If protein keeps you in check then great, but the protein was not the source of your weight loss. If you believe otherwise would you please provide your source? This is to be sure everyone gets the facts regarding CICO or the thermodynamic concept that a "calorie" is a sufficient way to describe the energy content of food.

    I get what you are saying, I have my masters in nutritional science/anatomy and contraindications when comes to people with medical needs. Hey there! ๐ŸŒŸ While it's true that calories are a fundamental aspect of weight loss (calories in, calories out - CICO), the role of macros can't be overlooked. Proteins, fats, and carbs can influence satiety, energy expenditure, and even the composition of weight loss.

    Studies like those published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" and "Obesity" show that high-protein diets can enhance weight loss by promoting a feeling of fullness, boosting metabolism during digestion, and preserving lean muscle mass during calorie reduction to focus on targeting body fat and not your lean muscle mass.

    So, while calories matter, the type of calories (macros) can impact how your body processes and utilizes them in the weight loss journey. Keep rocking your progress! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ช

    Comments: I found out my brother-in-law had two severe strokes today. This is going to be a stressful week. So, my goal is just to take a few minutes after I put something on my plate and decide if I really want to eat it. I donโ€™t know how everything will work out; Iโ€™ll try. ๐ŸŒป

    ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: This my first post on this site since using, so, newbie here. My story started with going to my son's wedding. We had to take a plane to the location. Boarded the plane and noticing the seat belt barely fit, was a wake-up call. I then got the pictures from the wedding and confirmed why I don't like to be in pictures, a whole denial thing going on. I used to be in great shape but with life and sport injuries I've made excuses not to get back there. Way overdue with โ€œtime to get serious about my healthโ€. I've been using MFP now for 54 days in a row to keep me on track with my new education on portion sizes and what's actually in the food I was eating. Was quite a shock to be honest. I'm also back on some lifting weights and indoor bike training. I am a little surprised that MFP doesn't track fiber as I find that itโ€™s just as important as the things it does track, but overall, love the program.

    Name: Cathy
    Date:1/10/23 - week 3
    Start weight: 247.7
    Current weight: 245.0
    Overall weight loss:2.7
    What I lost this week:0.3
    Comments: I logged in every day, including multiple binges. 2 events are big stressors for me this month, and I realize that I am eating to quell some anxiety. I know eating is not the answer but still I do it. Logging is helpful. It keeps bringing me back and keeps me honest. All is well.
