This group sounds like a good fit for me. I currently weigh 129.6. Two weeks ago, I weighed 131.6. It’s pretty amazing for me to lose one pound in a week. Since I’m not severely over weight. Those extra 5 pounds are around my middle so I’ve got to get rid of that spare tire 😃 I want to focus on better lunch and dinner…

I like “walking with Leslie” on youtube! It’s a very easy exercise but I’m moving. My apple watch says I tend to burn 139 calories which seems so little but better than sitting all day!

The primal diet sounds interesting and perhaps similar to the Mediterranean diet. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ but both focus on healthy fats, low carb and fresh fruits and vegetables 👏🏼

Hi everyone! I’m very motivated right now to lose 2 pounds! For me this will probably take 4 weeks which can be frustrating because I want everything FAST! But I’m exercising 5 days week and enjoying the warmer weather so we can bike 😃 I’m intrigued with the Mediterranean diet as it is recognized by the Mayo Clinic as a…

Hi I’m SonFlower 😀 I want to lose 5 pounds. If I’m really careful and stick to 1200 calories and exercise I can lose .5 pounds in a week! Very slow going but I’m also prediabetic. I’ve been at this weight before (130) and when I lost to 127 I returned to normal. That’s my goal - avoid Diabetes 👍 I’m also aiming to drink at…

Fish!

Scrambled egg and egg whites with spinach, bell peppers, onion and cherry tomatoes on 2 carb sense tortillas and coffee of course!

@Nony_Mouse my nutritionist set mine at carbs 40%, fat 30% and protein at 30% of my total calories . My calorie goal 1200 so it works out to be 30 carbs, 10 fat, 22 protein for 4 meals :) it worked! Fats are counted differently. That’s why even though they are the same percentage as protein, you get less.

Thank you @janejellyroll

For tomorrow For lunch i have 33 carbs and 35 protein and -5 fat left over for lunch. Any suggestions?

I’ll give another, so many!!! Hummus vs butter. 1T - 2.3g fat/ 11g fat

I eat Belinski chicken sausage because it has less fat 💪

I’ve gone back to being meticulous about recording everything I eat and 1) food looks small but it’s been satisfying 2)lost .5 lbs in a week! 😊

Greek yogurt for sour cream: .4c/0f, .9p vs .8c/2.3f/.3p (carbs/fat/protein)

Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Everyday we need to make the decision to eat right and exercise to be in good health for ourselves and those we love ❤️

I love my nutritionist. She gives me new ideas to substitute my bad choices. She gave me my plan and when I followed it, I lost the weight I needed to lose. She’s from HEB :)

Thank you @janejellyroll which of these are only the flesh and which are the weight of the entire fruit?

My nutritionist told me I had to step up my exercise if I wanted to lose weight!

I did a zumba video that was pretty fun! 30 mins Zumba Dance Workout - Full Video Also did an exercise video: 30-min Feel Good Strength and Cardio Workout. But my husband had some difficulty with this but I was fine.

I lost 6 pounds from April to June and now gained 6 pounds! I went back i eating some of the food I enjoy so I’m upset with myself that I have little self discipline but I’m going to focus again and start recording everything AGAIN! I’m looking for a way to take pictures of everything I eat. I’m going to try to eat what I…

Thanks for your help but I needed more specific numbers of percentages for my goals. You must be already at your goal weight since you’re not as regimented as I want to be to lose this extra weight :smile: The Salmon looks delicious. I’m gonna do that soon!!!

Thanks for this stern message about whinning and not wanting to do the hard thing to be healthy. It does require our decision! I didn’t want to get out to the gym to exercise but I did and now I feel great, alive and ready to accomplish what I need to do!

P.S. Nutrition is very important to me, even more than losing weight:)

I think according to this recommendation for 1200 calories: 10% Sat Fats=13 15% Mono = 20 5% Poly = 6.7

Awhile back a coach changed my macros according to her recommendations, I guess I could write them down and switch back to the default and then tweak it. A nutritionist told me Sat Fat: 10%, Mono 15% and Poly 5%. All totals should be not more than 30% of my calories should be from fats.

I also agree with body composition making the difference. It all depends on how your jeans and skirts fit! I am 5'1 and weigh 130 now but I'm aiming to weigh 123 but I'm also going to get some muscle so I don't know if that is realistic for me but I'm eating a lot healthier, exercising, and drinking more water!
