Thanks very much. This is amazingly helpful and I appreciate it. I need to get more veggies and things to eat, I have been eating terrible for so long that I'm now having to buy things I didn't usually buy. It's funny how ill feed my children healthy balanced meals yet feed myself garbage, haha. I keep eating under my goal…

Oh my gosh thank you! Those are awesome tips. I'll look for those items and try out the suggested coffee! Unfortunately I am horrible at hydrating. I literally go a couple days and just forget to drink. Its a bad trait but I'm working on it :)

Thank you!!! I love coffee with cream and sweetener I trying to find a substitute! For cream. I never thought about apples! Thanks!!

Thank you so very much! I'm so grateful for all of this information and amazing tips and support. Everyone has been so helpful just when I felt alone and like I was failing, everyone replied it wa such and overwhelming feeling. I can't thank you enough. So so helpful! I don't know how to send a ty to this entire thread…

Very low self esteem issues And no support system, with a lot of negativity. I should be proud of any progress,you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. We are always the hardest on ourselves.

Ohhhhhh, that makes perfect sense. Thank you! I get it now. I'll start doing uncooked and see how that goes/changes things. Thanks so much for your advice and support!

I weigh everything on my food scale after its cooked. I'm not sure if that's correct or not. What is th3 difference weighing uncooked, and cooked? And what is proper way? Thanks kindly But I just weigh in today, and I've only lost 2 pounds....so that's disappointing, I thought with all the hunger and difficulty adjusting…

0.5 a week

Thanks very much! I appreciate the helpful tips.

Oh wow. I didn't know i could eat things like popcorn or even low carb breads. I'm set to 0.5 lbs per week, not 2. I'm using a good scale for everything I measure, so I'm pretty confident I'm logging correctly. Mfp set my macros so it said I'm to eat 1600 cals a day and lose 0.5 a week ? I'm not doing much fiber I guess. I…

Now?

I did it. I think

Yes it's default. Okay I'll try the calculator. Thank you so much. I'm finding it difficult to purchase healthier foods, I have 3 kids and no one eats what I eat. It's hard to find a balance in making so many different meals. I guess finding a routine and a way to incorporate everyone's meals and my own woukd be helpful.

It says my goal is 0.5lbs a week I just left it at that 0.5 isn't much at all Should it not be this?

Thank you, I'll check that out. All I've ever heard is protein is the key. Thanks for your suggestion. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks Last I checked, I was 176. And I'm just starting out with food changes, I haven't even tackled excercise yet. Eating was my worst issue so I'm dealing with that First. I bought dumbells, and resistance bands, haven't figured out a workout yet. I just plugged in all my numbers and let mfp tell me what I should be…
