I reached a point of feeling so uncomfortable, exhausted, miserable and felt like I was just bursting out of myself and my clothes in spite of having to buy all new things over and over. I worked with a trainer who had me log my food in this app every day. The accountability helped, so did the gradual exercise. I began to…

Are you set so people can find you? I tried to search under your use name and came up with nothing. I would be glad to stay in touch if you can add me or make it possible for me to add you.

For the first time in my life I have gotten rid of some larger clothes. For some reason it never occurred to me to do this before. Now I see it as a commitment to this new life and the healthier habits I can choose to maintain for a lifetime. This felt very meaningful to me to do this. I know part of the reason I didn't…

I suggest that you do a 1200 calorie diet including as much nutrition as possible, cut sugar way way down so you are not hungry as it revs up the hunger. Exercise including weights to gain muscle so your metabolism gets faster and you tone up. I lost 18 lbs in 90 days but look and feel even better than that number reflects…

It takes about 8 hours for the average meal to digest, not two. The only issue I know of in terms of eating close to bed time in terms of the digestive track is for those with acid reflux. They should not eat within a few hours of going to bed because it will make their reflux worse when they lie down. If a person does not…

I live in Lancaster, PA, home of many warm and wonderful people including many Amish and Mennonites who make good neighbors! I am in a suburb of the city. The city itself is diverse and artsy and we have a high concentration of immigrants and fascinating people from all over the world and all over our nation. Anyone on…

I would be glad to be friends with you. I'm doing a strict 1200 calorie diet with pilates, treadmill and light weights. So far it is working. I am shooting for a summer goal, too. Margie [personal email removed by mods]

Hi, What is IS? Did you mean to type IBS? I would be glad to be friends with you!

Hi everyone, One day at a time. One goal at a time. Building a healthy life one day, one step, one brick at a time. Love it! Recently I realized that when I encounter a temptation in the form of a piece of food (a bag of chips, a box of chocolates, whatever), I have an opportunity to make a choice. And the choice I'm going…

Hi, my goal is to slowly, week-by-week, keep losing and don't stop, don't change the rhythm, keep doing everything exactly like I am right now, until I get down to a goal weight I set. Then I plan to keep on logging, keep on eating a calorie level that is only slightly higher than right now. Otherwise I feel I will gain it…

I'm not sure I understand the cheat days idea. Here and there I eat something that is not ideal health-wise but we have a choice: either work it in calorie and nutrient wise the best we can so the rest of the day--and rest of the week--balances that out, or just budget the item in question into your plans. I am, for…

I agree with all of the above. I'm feeling that overall I'm better off cooking at home so I have more control over the calories by controlling the food prep. Why do chefs cook with so much oil... and everything they use is a full-fat version? It is frustrating to look at the calories on the menus at restaurants because I…

We can do this! Let's work on daily consistency with tracking. Is that what worked best for you before?
