I get pretty disappointed with how food stamps allows such fattening and in nutritious foods such as soda and snacks. How lunches at schools can be so high in calories etc. Like you said, there needs to be more information and education. If we are this overweight now, what will happen 10-20 years from now?

I also feel like we make food the center of entertainment and many options aren't very healthy. Now that I'm actually counting calories it's insane how much I used to actually eat for one meal. I feel fine after what I eat now. It's like my stomach has shrank and I can be satiated with way less amount of food. It's nice. I…

Me too! They aren't as bad as I thought.

I loved this :)

I love this idea. I think this is how most successful people go about maintaining their weight loss. If you really want something, just have it and log it in with your other calories for the day. :)

That's exactly where I'm heading. I believe in everything in moderation. If I restrict myself too much I go crazy and eventually binge on all the things I deprived myself of. Eating is also very social. I don't want to completely give up social outings. Just know not to overdo it. Maybe work out more the next day or eat…

Today, I was more relaxed with what I ate and I also ate 1650 cals instead of 1200. I felt much more like myself today and felt it was very doable. It seems like the weight loss will take a much longer time but I was thinking maybe I could do a day a week where I eat a little less than 1650 if I feel fine or workout more.…

I'm in the same boat but I'm upping my cals per day and changing my goal to 1 pound loss per week instead of 2. I was feeling way too tired. Sometimes you have to tweak things to get that good match for you. Glad you are on this journey with all of us! Feel free to ask questions. We all learn from eachother :) welcome to…

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm going to change my goals under MFP to lose 1 lb per week. I'll try that for a week and see how I feel. I'm guessing I was too aggressive with the calorie deficit all a sudden on my body. I don't remember ever tracking calories before. I usually only did paleo diets or low carb with high…

I set it for lightly active. What do you guys have as your weight loss goal per week?

I usually always wake up around 5 or 6am. On days I work I've been waking up at 5am so I can fit in a small 20-30 minute Weightlift workout or cardio like Zumba. I commute to work and start at 7am. I'm pretty much on my feet til around 9 when I can have a snack. I've been eating around every 3 hours. No coffee until today…

I've only been at it a week and feel super tired. My cals are 1200 . I'm not exercising too much because of this but my job I'm running around all day. I work 3 days a week. 12 hour shifts. Any suggestions ?

I loved reading all these :) My ex husband told me before he left that the body is more important. Whatever that meant at the time. But looking back I see that I let myself go after I had my daughter. I stayed at home and had no reason to get fixed up. We are fast food etc and the weight slowly came on. Since being single,…

Im always happy to help when I can :) I'm new to this tracking my food thing too. We can help eachother !

Count me in! Hopefully this will be doable considering it's the middle of March! SW: 188 (March 9, 2016) CW: 180 GW: 140

Yay! Looking forward to go on this new lifestyle with everyone :) how do we add friends on here? I just realized that I could post here haha

I'm Lovin these ideas guys! I also would like to add walking in the zoo. I did that a couple weeks ago and that was fun plus we got lots of steps in :) keep me comin! I'm looking forward to doing lots of these soon.

Those are good ideas. I probably need to invest in a bike and hit up the nice trails we have here. I like skating and dancing. We usually do the park but there's not much I can do while I'm watching her play. I hiked last year when it was nice out. I'm more likely to stick with exercise when it doesn't seem like exercise…
