    Welcome! add me if you wish!

    Here is some tips!

    females no less than 1200 cals a day
    males no less than 1800 cals a day

    why?

    if you eat less your body goes into starvation mode which causes it to store which causes weight gain

    3500 burned cals = loss on 1lb of fat
    3500 cals = 1lb of fat put on

    low carb is key my dietitian says 150 or less per day is a pretty good amount =)

    Don't call it a diet just be wise on what you put into your body and treat yourself when you meet your goals

    lean meats, red meat and taters 3-4 times in a 2 week period, whole grains keep you fuller longer, heavier meals in the morning, sodium no more than 2400mg a day, fresh fruit and veggies, don't drink you calories, 8+ glasses of water a day, stay away from junk food/fast food/processed food, treat it when you meet your goals, don't eat the samethings daily or do the same workouts or your body will plateau

    but i learned all this when I gained 195lbs from quitting smoking, got on track with healthy eating and workouts and lost 156lbs in 19 months (put some back on with stress of buying/selling houses) but back on track now =)

    you can do it! promise!

    Feel free to add me. I am losing about 1.5 pounds a week. Slow but sure progress. Started out in 20's that were tight, and now I'm in 14's that are loose! I didn't think I could lose weight after 40, but one day at a time, I'm doing it.

    Hang in there! You can do this.

    I'd love to meet some new friends that plan on being on here daily. Today is my first day on here and I started my diet today. I plan on being on here daily since I'll need the support because my self control after the "new" wears off is really bad! It's going to be a great year!

    I'm here for the same. Friend me.

    I am new on here started yesterday. Really like the app it's showing me exactly how many calories I am taking in rather then just my mental note of it which makes it easier to cheat. Seeing I went over 75 calories helps me not make the same mistake the next day. I'm going to loose these 10 pounds & get in better shape. :) wouldn't mind making a few friends :)

    Diet is definitely not a good word.

    Life change. That's what it is, that's what it has to be. If I don't make it a life change, I'll die of a heart attack ("very high cholesterol") before I even have grand kids.
