Cool! That's how I started too, i just logged for a while and observed my habits and patterns. 7500 steps sounds like a LOT! How are your tracking that? I have heard of fitbit and jawbone trackers and such but haven't investigated yet.

Welcome! I'm sorry, when i said no restrictive diets i meant diets that were unhealthy, not diets that were medically required for a condition. That kind of restriction is a good thing! I meant more like the pickle juice and pineapple diet, or the no carbs ever diet, or the grapefruit coffee and cigarettes diet (that one…

I tried to add you but the app keeps blowing up.

I know right! Every time i tried to diet before I also started working out and began reorganizing my house and blogging and etc. LOL. This time i'm not even thinking about any kind of working out at all. And my house is a mess. And i think I'll start a blog in 2016 sometime. Maybe.

YOU ARE AWESOME! I love it! This app really is a great tool, i feel the same - i'm not dieting, i'm just managing my food, like managing my budget. It's great to know it can be done. As you continue to loose the last bit and maintain, please give us your thoughts on your past experiences. Your random musing might really…

Hamoalta, sounds like you are starting out strong. I can't imagine getting up that early to work out, but I am going to have to make some sort of plan soon to fit fitness in. How do you motivate yourself to do morning workouts?

You are so not alone. That's kind of why i wanted to start this group, for people who have experiences like this. I had to forgo a certain treatment at my chiropractor's because the machine's limit was 250, and i was nowhere near that. I would be happy to wake up tomorrow and weight 250! We will get there, hon. Keep…

Wow! Congratulations on kicking the nicotine. It's a lot to give up, i know! Don't worry if you can't give up the sweets and soda all in one go. If it doesn't happen, just eliminate soda, or allow yourself one per day. I was totally addicted to diet 7up, i drank six to eight per day! I now let myself have one per day, but…

That's the best way, start out slow and simple. The act of logging your food has immediate positive impacts. Even on days you miss your goals, logging can help you.

You sure don't have to be alone! Welcome!

Welcome! Share your plans and goals!

It's up to you, I wouldn't exclude anyone who wants to team up and help! Welcome! So what are your strategies for losing weight? Right now I am focusing on getting my head right about food. I want to start moving more but I don't want to change too many habits at once, so I am "sedentary" for now.

See a doctor...the best place to start is with tests and a professional opinion, or two or three.

YOU ARE MY HERO. I don't think any adult gets to eat the way kids do and stay thin.

I'm in! March 1st is my birthday, so 20 pounds lost is a perfect present to myself. I am 310, 290 here I come!

Hmm. To me, that empty feeling tells me I am burning calories. If I am hitting my calorie and nutrition goals, I assume I am OK health-wise and I don't worry about it. This is assuming you are not talking about hunger, or hunger pangs. If you are feeling hungry, drink a glass of water and wait ten minutes to see if you…
