Thanks all! I ate a bunch more today and felt almost immediately better. I did notice that I don’t usually make up the calories I lose during exercise. I’ll try to be better about that. and recently I recalculated my calorie needs using the mifflin calculator and found that I could be eating 300 calories more a day to lose…

Thank you all for your insights. They gave me some things to try and you have some good questions. So first to clarify my stats, I guess. I was 175.6 lbs when I started. Now 2 weeks later I’m 173.3, which seems like about a pound a week which is what seems to be the standard. I definitely want to lose 20 pounds, and if…

My goal is to lose 20 by Thanksgiving. Honestly I don’t know how long it will take, but I don’t want to rush and pressure myself. If anyone wants to friend me…

Hey All! I joined the app about a week ago and am enjoying it so far. Grad school was not kind to my waistline, so I’m looking to lose 20 lbs that I gained in Grad school ( I actually gained 40 lbs, but I want to start realistically.) My diet could be healthier and I want to stay working out 2-4 times a week. Hoping to…

Hey! I’m Kate! I’m also trying to lose some weight and would love to not do it alone, especially since this is my first serious and hopefully sustained attempt to lose some weight for good. I’m happy to be healthy diet partners with you! Right now I want to focus more on eating healthy than losing weight, but losing 20 lbs…
