I have the same goal, need to lose 50lbs and don't even know where to start!

I'm a nerdy girl myself, haha. Good luck this year!

The best way to find out how many calories you need just to do day to day things you can go to this site https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/calories-to-lose-weight It also depends on how much you do on a day to day basis, like what your job is or if you go for long walks, etc. You never want to feel like you are…

Limiting sugar intake helps a lot too!

I like comment on everything, lol, you can add me. I just cleared out my friends list. Everyone was like ...last log in 2 months ago.

I'm in, starting on 11/3/16: 10,011 so far 4.85 miless

Oh yeah I can see working at Starbucks being a huge instigator for during their employees into caffeine addicts, hahaha. And I hope you are able to get through the day without your norm dose of caffeine !! For me what triggers it is spicy food and greasy food. Red meat not so much. I will try to keep this updated, how…

The main reason why I want to cut it out is because I get anxious and I have IBS. Mainly greasy foods trigger it but caffeine does as well. I don't drink coffee <hate it> or tea, I drink monsters and nos. Lol. I try to get the zero calorie ones but some people tell me those are worse for you. Honestly idek. Also, you lost…

Thanks I'll try that. I heard iron helps with more energy. Is there a brand that's better than the other or are they all essentially the same? Paleo is just pretty much eating how you would eat if you lived as a caveman. Meat, fat, nuts, veggies (not potatoes or legumes or beans), and fruits. No processed sugar or caffeine.

I don't even know what that means. I have tried fasting and would eat about 500 calories a day for 2 months. Lost 20lbs but gained it all back. :V My problem is I love eating and snacking but I've been eating all the bad things.

It depends on who you are and where you are medically. I realized if I cut my salt intake I get extremely sleepy. My thyroid can't handle it.

I have never been a breakfast person. I just eat when I feel hungry. Normally I have big dinners so that might be contributing to that. If I eat breakfast I get a stomach ache and then around 12 I'm hungry again. It's kind of annoying. Just listen to your body when you're REALLY hungry. Normally I don't eat until 2pm, I…

Hey I didn't just make an account, Ive had the app for a while but never really used it. Now I'm ready to change, especially after realizing none of my old clothes fit anymore! Yikes! I love to cook so sharing some healthy recipes would be excellent! Please send an invite ! Or I guess I will, lol nvrmd.

I take the supplements usually in the morning so I put them under breakfast, lol.

yeah I'm new too! Friends would make it more fun.

I need to lose around 50lbs as well. 44 more to go, apparently. That's assuming I didn't gain weight during my vacation. I'm just cutting out all processed foods, not focusing on calorie count but just eating clean. I will still log it to make sure I'm eating enough. My job consists of me sitting down all day for 10hrs.…

I think we all have yoyo'd once or twice while dieting. You don't gotta see it as a diet and see it as a life style change. Temptation is everywhere and you always gotta be on guard. You can add me, I'm a long time dieter but this is the first time I'm looking to just change my way of life.

Good luck! I have about 50lbs to loose myself and am starting over. I ballooned over just 6 months it's embarrassing. I'm hoping to go back to where I was and stay there! Feel free to add me as a friend :open_mouth:

I am not technically new, meaning I've had my dabble on this site many times before. I'm always commenting on posts and diaries! Feel free to add me I only ask that you do the same : )

Same goes for me too. I've been up and down up and down for some years. My lowest was 120lbs but then it shot back up to 154!! I'm trying to get back to 120 or less, add me so we can support each other!
