Simply lose weight
Calculating calories of intake is the only way to stay fit for me. It is FAR MORE productive than calculating exercise calories expended. I am 90 lbs lower than 24 years ago because of this consistent, daily practice.

I'm 242 pounds and 5'7 tall, and I need to shed a lot of weight before August.
I've been doing calorie deficit for a week and have lost 1 or 2 pounds so far, but I need to lose more by August for a very crucial personal reason. Should I increase my cardio? Please provide ideas. Thank you ahead of time!

Daughter of the King
Hi. I'm Jodi. 54 yo. I'm in Wisconsin. Need to lose weight, a lot of weight. Lost 25lbs on Weight Watchers, since March 9. But I'm allergic to protein so it's been difficult. I can only have 5g of protein a day. I'm using this app to count my calories. And maybe to track exercise. Nice to meet y'all. 😊 💝

High protein / lower carb snacks on a super strict budget??
I'm struggling with getting enough protein. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but pretty close. I don't eat much meat and prefer not to eat more processed foods than necessary (both a personal preference and a budget thing). We eat a lot of meals with eggs and beans, but I'm more of a grazer than a meal eater - always have…
