Thank you everyone so much for the help. I am going to start changing it up and see which is what works best for me. I wasn't sure if there was a "better" time of day to eat then others.

I never snack as well so here lately I've been struggling to reach my calorie goals.

Thank you and bell so much for the insight! Its helped a lot. Mfp tells me to eat 1330 calories a day and I usually try to hit mfp chart goals but I feel as of 150-200 carbs a day is too many. which is what lead me to wanting to learn to count the macros to keep a well balanced diet that will still promote weight loss…

1330 but I've been eating approximately 1100 a day

Lose weight. I weighed 242 last time I weighed myself. I'm 5'6 I really cannot believe I ever let myself get this big.. I had my daughter a year ago and it was like after I had her I couldn't swing my depression. My doctor prescribes me Zoloft and I recently just starter taking phentermine. I started my journey 9 days ago.…

Thank you so much:)

Let's be friends!!

Joined im ready to get competitive:p

You are awesome!! Congrats on your loss! Also thank you for the great advice! my husband always says I know you are cheating on your diet but like I told him by lying on my logs and cheating in general isn't hurting anyone but myself so why would I do it or why would I lie. I'm new to the nutrion part of it but I've done…

You are so awesome!!! Thank you so much for "getting it". I guess me being so determined and motivated has me setting my goals way overboard but it works for me. I also have small weekly goals as well which are VERY achievable one being "no cheat days this week" I met that goal! Super proud of myself. :). thank you again…

No cheat days here!! Only cheating I do is I may get wheat bread instead of lettuce wrap then I feel so guilty and tell myself well I cheated today so I can't do that again tomorrow)

It took a while to get my mind psyched. I'll admit I should have started a long time ago. I wanted to do the rny bypass surgery because my insurance would cover it now that I was at 246. Only thing is they wanted 5 years of height and weight history and I wasn't always this big... So I decides to stop waiting and just do…

Thank you all so much!! I typically drink 60-80 oz of water during the day depending on my activity level but it seems I match that at night when I start winding down. I'll try and double up water during the day so not having to use the restroom so much at night

I assure you I would never do anything to harm myself! I am trying to get healthy not starve myself. Again I will say that I do not care if I lose 5 pounds or 10 pounds in 3 months. I will be happy as long as I continue to lose weight. Even if I do not meet my unrealistic goal it will not matter because I'll still be…

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and happy someone finally understands what I'm talking about

Congrats!!! Actually my husband does mma and lost 100 pounds in 7 months by just that and eating right. I know what our bodies can do and know it is possible. I also know it will not be easy. I'm blessed with someone harder on me than I am myself but sometimes he can be too hard on me. Lol

Have you even read any of my posts? Or just the first one. Yes you will see me in 2 or 3 months and it won't be starting over it will be after I've consistently lost weight by following exactly what I'm suppose to do and not cheating one time. Call me a failure before I start but I promise you I will prove you wrong. Lucky…

Could really use friends for support, share recipes, push each other on days we aren't feeling it, help avoid cheat days（⌒▽⌒）

I'm not here to argue or defend myself. If you would like to be friends and help motivate each other on the bad days, share awesome recipes, push each other to work out on the days you really arent feeling it, GREAT! if not I do not want to hear any more criticism sorry.

This isn't just a longterm project for me its a complete lifestyle change. Like I said my GOAL is 60 pounds If I lose 20 that is still a success. My mindset maybe set different than others but its what works for me. Again its a lifestyle change I do not ever plan on going back. I'm not doing this to lose 80 pounds then…

Thanks guys... Looking for friends and get criticized. I have 100% discipline so yes I need the motivation. Telling me my goals are unrealistic is something I already know. I hear it daily. Doesn't mean I'm going to work any less hard.

Thank you all for your opinions. I would also like to add and make clear that even though I would like to lose 60 pounds in 3 months doesn't mean I would be any less disappointed if I only lost 20 pounds in 3 months. I am making a LIFESTYLE change and its something I'm going to continue for the rest of my life. I am just…

In my opinion its okay to have high goals. The way I am I push myself harder when I have an unrealistic goal.

I actually am working with my doctor. I was going to do the rny gastric bypass surgery but decided I would try and do it myself first. I may not lose 60 pounds in 3 months but I want my goal high so I keep myself working hard at it. I was prescribed phentermine and its helped dramatically. I haven't ate over 100 carbs a…

Please feel free to share what you do that truly works in dropping the maximum amount of weight! My family says I have turned into a monster with calories and carbs.

Love the taco shell idea too cool!

Just remember how good you will look after fighting these temptations. Latino hottie's all day over cookies!

Love to be your friend!! Looking for positive people to make new friends with same goals in mind!

I am right where you are! I have been leading an unhealthy lifestyle for so long and 8 days ago I decided to make a change! I'm also 27! Love to be friends and help motivate each other! Positivity brings positivity! We got this!
