Good for you for being real and wanting to make positive changes for yourself. I'm right there with you although not as brave as you to post pics. Best wishes on journey!!

I would like to join this group.

Minimizing supper or eating all of your food before 5pm is a good way to lose weight as long as you're staying within your caloric limits during the day. Food eaten at night doesn't metabolize as quickly as if you had eaten the same meal earlier in the day. Our stomachs are meant to rest at night like the rest of our body.…

Welcome! I'm an old member of FP with a new start to a healthy 2018. I feel so much better after only a couple of days back on track. Have a lot to loose- 50 plus pounds, but I know I can do it with the help of FP and I'm also going to join TOPS in my local community for support.

Maine..very cold here, blizzard yesterday.

I tend to agree that the starvation mode from too few calories is myth. If this really happens then why do we have thin, undernourished people? No one would get skinny from malnutrition if this was actually true.

Steamed vegies are very filling, tossed salad with beans, almost anything plant based with fiber is going to help fill you up.

people can be so awful! But glad you found the motivation to improve your health and feel better about yourself.

THANKS!

I'm mostly vegetarian. I eat lots of beans, whole grains, veggies and fruits, eggs, yogurt and almond milk. Also veggie burgers and quorn chicken. I average 60-80 grams of protein per day.

Try eating the bulk of your calories by 5-6pm. I have found that eating too close to bedtime can slow weight loss down.
