  • I might not be a twin, but I'm pretty close! I'm 30yo, not a mom, 5ft 7, 197lbs looking to lose 40 to 50lbs. My short term goal is to accurately track for a full month with NO exceptions. I haven't had the best luck with sticking to this program, so I'm also looking for a check in buddy to help keep me on track.
  • I'm female, 30, 5ft 7in, about 190lbs, and not worried about anyone knowing that. The healthy range for that height is 121-158lbs, so losing 50lbs would put me firmly in the middle of that. I used to weigh about 135 to 140 and I was the happiest with my body then. I've been lower due to an anxiety disorder that affected my…
  • I've tried that a little bit, maybe I'll give it a deeper try. I've done that when we go over to friends house for D&D (my weakness is his homemade pizza, but I try to eat less of it) My problem then is that I go through my snacks too quickly.

She said that I would need to go that low to lose weight, but I figure that she is probably setting it that low knowing that most people underestimate their calorie intake. Do you have any good recommendations for the higher protein/fat snacks?
  • Anxiety can really mess a person up! I had major anxiety issues when I was in college. I've gotten it more under control now, but it still sparks up from time to time. My anxiety was about the possibility of throwing up and I decided that if I didn't eat then there couldn't possibly be anything to come back up. I ended up…
  • WOAH!!! The majority of you said to weigh every day and I am very glad I did! Apparently my scale decided to go a little crazy this morning saying that I had lost 20 lbs over night. I wish...so I made sure it wasn't on the edge of the rug, re-calibrated it, and checked again. I actually had gained .2 lbs, which is much…
  • Thank you again for more great advice! As far as the weighing out the total amount of food a recipe makes, I tried that for the chicken with spinach that I made tonight and it worked really well! I'll keep using that trick! I had meant to weigh the skillet ahead of time, but forgot to. Does it hurt a scale to put something…
  • Thank you for your help. I will keep the advice in mind.
