I get a tall filter coffee, sometimes with a splash of milk. Pretty much no calories black, or up to about 50 if adding milk.

Chicken in a creamy sauce (garlic philadelphia based) with brown rice and sweetcorn.

Hiya. Think previous reply to you vanished. I’m not eating a strange diet, haven’t tried overhauling my diet to different foods etc yet, I’m just eating the same as I was before but with smaller portions, less snacks, not eating takeaways and smaller amounts of the high calorie things I’d usually add to food like butter…

Thanks that helps. It’s just very demotivating to see pretty much everyone else have big losses in the first week and here I am gaining more weight counting and restricting calories than I did when I was eating whatever I wanted.

100% not pregnant, and my sodium will probably have reduced with counting calories as I’ve been cooking more. I know it isn’t much time but if I’m taking in less calories than my body needs then surely that should mean my body has no other option than to burn fat. I thought weight loss is supposed to be simple formula of…

I have a sandwich and piece of fruit

I have over 100 pounds to lose and am struggling with the first week. Would like some friends with a lot to lose too.

Hey well done on starting

Hi

Welcome, I have rejoined in the last few days and have more to lose than you, but after a few days seeing scales going down is nice.

I am exactly the same. Currently telling myself that since I’ve done it before i can do it again, and trying to work out ways to make it different this time so I don’t fall off again like all the previous times.

I also have type 2, on insulin. I just left the breakdown on the standard amounts though, MFP calculated my calories and that was it. All I had to input was height and weight and target rate of loss.

Thanks, I’m going to stick with my usual carb based diet and try having a bit more balance with it rather than trying some lower carb meals for the moment.

So many congratulations. Looking forward to this point though it’s a long way away for me yet.

Welcome, not sure how much I’m looking to lose, it’s at least 100 to get me anywhere near the normal range though

i restarted today too after regaining lots of weight

I’m diabetic too.

Me too

Yeah I do, but mainly I gave up thinking of a name that wasn’t taken!

I have 100 to lose too

Me too. You can do it!

Well done. I’m also starting again after losing a couple of years ago. We can do it :)

I’m in the uk and started on Monday but haven’t worked out how to invite people as friends yet!

When i stopped last time I was only planning on having a few days off... 13 months later I’m ready to start again!
