Hi guys, I could do with some new friends to help with motivation/staying accountable! I'm 23 and from the UK, trying to lose the extra pounds. Feel free to add me!

That's why I was wary of the salad, you never really know what you are getting, although I hoped it was less than the burger! After I looked it all up, the burger was more than my daily calories but I found a wrap that sounds delicious for 370 calories so i'm going for that! Thank you all for the support and answers

Thanks for the advice! I did choose the most aggressive rate of weight loss (guilty) but I'm still eating sensibly and having a treat now and then so I think it will be OK! I'm 5'6/5'7 and weigh 168lb and I am aiming to lose around 35/40lb or until I feel happy with myself. I'm not exercising at the moment but I will be…

I'm always a little embarrassed to ask to take things home! I don't eat out too often though so once i'm a bit further into my diet I should be OK to eat the occasional cheat meal. It's definitely a good idea to split it into 3 portions because then you can eat something delicious (more than once!) without going over the…

Thank you! I will keep that in mind for next time. Luckily I found the nutritional information so I am feeling much more relaxed, the salad is only 270 calories! Turns out the burger I wanted was more than my daily allowance so it's salad for me :(

It really is, thank you everyone for the kind answers. Getting a bit anxious now because I am going out for lunch tomorrow and can't find the calories anywhere. I don't know whether to get something more healthy sounding like the salad and hope it is low calorie, or just go for a burger and keep the rest of my days…

I got the cheapest one amazon sold, which was about £2 but the reviews seemed OK. Didn't want to spend a lot until I know how much I use it, but if it works then it is an absolute bargain! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AB051OY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wow, thanks guys. I've ordered a food scale so I will be able to start weighing portions as soon as it arrives,and maybe I'll feel a bit more confident that i'm logging correctly. Congrats on everyone's weight loss, that is amazing and I hope I can also be as successful. I didn't realise I could eat so many things, it…

I'm from the UK too and looking for friends so feel free to add :)

Well it took up 800 calories of my day so wasn't really the healthy choices I was planning on making! Nothing is wrong with it as a treat but i've only just started!

Also with you on that goal! I'm 5'6 and 168 at the moment and would love to lose 30 pounds (maybe less or more depending on how I feel). Lets cheer each other on. Had my first successful day of eating under my calorie goal and exercising as well, so I hope yours was just as good. Anyone feel free to add me as I'd love some…

Hoping to lose around 30 pounds, starting today!

Hi, me too, well more of a weight loss journey first. Feeling super motivated this time so let's hope we can both succeed!
