This is the easiest lifestyle change I have ever made. I have been on many diets in my life, only to gain it all back, plus some. I now eat what I want as long as it fits in my daily allotment of calories. I started March 18th and I have lost 23 pounds. For me, diets and shakes don't work in the long run...I always gain it…

Welcome!! : )

Maggiano's chopped salad and linguine and clam sauce. Delish!!

My son plays college baseball and had left outer hip pain...it was an itb issue and over pronation. Custom orthotics worked well for him and he is pain free.

Have never had a problem with my cholesterol levels, but since I have started a new healthy eating lifestyle, I wanted to make sure I wasn't eating too much of it...

I am on a 1200 calorie a day plan. Feel free to add me. My family likes wraps in low carb tortillas and pizzas made with pita bread.

My goal is 300...yesterday I was 141 over...today 59. Rather new to this, so still trying to figure it all out.

I think the app added your exercise calorie allowance.

I don't know how they help with the elasticity of you skin...from what I understand it has something to do with the hydration of skin cells. I am not a biochemist. There are many articles/studies online about the benefits of efas and skin...I'm not asking you to take my word for it. I am offering a suggestion based on what…

They help with the elasticity of your skin.

EFA's help prevent loose skin if you take them during your weight loss phase. They work!! I take them every day.

I eat 1200 cals a day and I am very satisfied. I used to eat a LOT more, but I think since the nutritional quality of my food has increased, I am staying full longer.

Taking essential fatty acid supplements will help reduce loose and saggy skin as you lose weight.

Sorry, I guess it was set to friends only...should be public now.

My diary is open.

Great job!! You look fantastic!!

Since this thread is posted under "weight loss help" I assumed we were all here for the same reason. We all have opinions. We are all adults. If something does not work for someone, are they wrong just because it doesn't meet your "scientific" standards? Scientists and nutritionists don't even agree. I think we can all…

The bickering on this site gets old quickly. Don't we all have the same goal...to lose weight? Just because someone may have a different opinion does not mean they should be ridiculed. I don't think even the experts agree...so why don't we all agree that none of us are experts on healthy eating. If we were, would we really…

I take essential fatty acids and it helps significantly with sagging skin. I use the efa"s they sell through Slimgenics. They are expensive, but others have said they tried other brands and have not had the results they have gotten with the Slimgenics brand.

Yes! Walking is great! I started cutting back calories 3 weeks ago, added walking 2 weeks ago, and I am down 12 pounds.

Sure! Chinese restaurants are usually very accommodating.

Food can be an addiction for many people.

Best of luck to you as you begin your healthier lifestyle! I started mine 3 weeks ago. : )

Hi! I am at 1270 calories per day. I have 90 pounds to lose and I have lost 10 since I started 3 weeks ago. I started walking a minimum of 2 miles a day last week. Seems to be working well so far. We can do this!!

Thank you Lemurcat12! Very helpful!!

I don't use butter or oil for cooking...or anything else. I eat a lot of chicken and egg whites, fresh veggies and fruit. I am usually around 30 or so over for protein and 20 under for fat.

I have been doing this for a little over 3 weeks, so I am new to trying to even out calories. I am going off the guidelines that MFP suggested when I put in my info. I put sedentary because I didn't exercise at all on day one. After the first week, I have been walking a minimum of 2 miles a day. I have lost 10 pounds since…

How many calories do you eat when you are at 100g of fat a day?

Not much of a FAT eater...over eater...HECK YES!! I don't blame the carbs...I blame eating them in abundance. Just trying to find a way to eat that I can live with...I don't ever want to look back!

I am 5'5 and 256
