Welcome Mike! Ang is right, you need to eat more so your body has enough energy to burn weight. When you exercise more you can eat more :-)

I've been eating huge Honeycrisp apples lately and that does the trick for a while...chased by water.

I keep telling myself that food can either be my poison or my medicine. I'm doing my best to take good medicine. I actually didn't grab nearly as much crap as I usually do when I go to the grocery store. I just have to be careful with my protion control, I'm way bad at that (read extra greedy). I'll look into the Talenti…

Checking now, thanks bunches!

Thanks sooo much everyone, you're all awesome! I'll be heeding all advice: More water, less junk food, more exercise, reading success stories/viewing pictures and keeping my goal in mind. I hope i can be as helpful to you all as you have been to me, cheers! :flowerforyou:

Almost everything I eat comes in a box, can or plastic bag (not all of it is crap though). I know I need to eat more fresh fruits and veggies and cut back on salt...it's just so hard. But I know I can't afford excuses. I rarely eat pork, fried foods or beef, so I'm good there. I have to stay away from sweets and salty…

Hollie you're awesome, lol! I use my pictures of my stomach as a warning too :blushing: My purpose for changing my eating/exercise habits has everything to do with fear. I've watched family members abuse their bodies with bad foods, no exercise, smoking, drinking and just general carelessness and suffer for it. I'm so…

You're so right, I've only had 16 ounces of water today, I need to do better. Is it okay to had a touch of honey and lemon to my water? I hate water.

I'm glad that you found your motivation, I'll have to make sure that I just keep my goal in mind. I just want to be healthy and not wheeze and whine when I have to walk up 3 flights of stairs. A little hunger won't kill me but heart and diabetes mos def will. No cheating...today anyway :blushing:

You're so right, especially about tooth brushing. I never want to eat after I brush my teeth, lol. I haven't looked at any pics yet, I'll do that next. Thanks!

Yeah, I have to learn to make healthier choices with my food. The healthier choices cost so much more though :noway: Any suggestions for low cost high impact food?

I haven't exercised today thus far, but the day isn't over. It's only 9:30, lol. I still have time :happy:

I used the automatic thingy and set it for a 10 pound weight loss with 5 days of 20 minute exercise (I'm so lazy, I know). I tried the manual goal setting but I have no idea how to figure out all that daily intake stuff. Suggestions?

Thanks KS, will do!
