I would like to join if not too late

Thanks! I'll try that out. Protein does fill me longer so maybe focusing on macros a bit will help.

I'm the same! I lost 13 lbs last year and i think i gained about 5 back since having knee surgery. So i need to get back on track! I would like to lose 15-20 lbs by september because i'll be in my brother's wedding. I need all the support i can get.

Thank you! I'll stick to weighing only!

I eat back only 50% of my calories burned because MFP really overestimates. I think it's important to log exercise to give you an idea of where you are-you have to eat a little back because if you under eat then it screws with your weightloss. Plus, it's a great motivation to see what exercise you've accomplished! So far…

15 more lbs.

Thank you for the tips! I'll try to be less hard on myself too.

These are all really helpful and make sense. I'll give a little background. I started two months ago (really started).

Normally i…

I'm consistent with cardio and the weight lifting was a supplement to it. Now i can only focus on lifting. I haven't started PT yet. I think what i'm asking is it a problem that i'm only…

AMazing! What an inspiration! Any advice on staying disciplined during the tough times?

I say do whatever works best for you and will keep you motivated.

Thanks, these are all really helpful tips. I got a food scale and getting used to using it consistently. I forgot to mention that i am very active. I play soccer twice a week and go to the gym 2-3 times a week. Being active has never been a problem for me. My need to get control of my eating.

If I go over in a day it's only by about 200 calories.

Yes, on most days. I also adjusted my calories because it was only at 1300 a day for me, which is really difficult. So I'm at 1590.
