I felt the same way on day 2 I was ready to quit because I was so hungry. I had to adjust my weekly weight loss goal, that bumped up my calories to a level that is totally doable now. Don't get me wrong I still have times when I feel hungry but it's getting less and less often and that is one of the best feelings ever!…

Add me too! I was on here off and on last year, I never used the boards or added any friends, this time I'm trying a different approach and it seems to be working! Down 4.6 lbs in 10 days!

I am pretty positive I don't have a sinus infection. I do have tmj and it's pretty bad right now... Message me and I will give you the recipe. :)

I'm not sure what number you are looking at. I think I do pretty good on protein.

Nothing has changed. Sleep is great for me.

I am drinking a lot more water, and cut back on sugar big time.

Yes I have been exercising and I take a b complex but not a multi. I think I am going to start taking one and see if that helps.

I am going to make myself look like a fool...but what does that even mean? lol

I love this! I can't wait to have that feeling of freedom! I can't wait to not cover up!

WOW! What an inspirational story! I love reading things like this, it reminds me it is possible and gives me hope! Thanks for sharing your amazing story.

I need to set goals I think I need small ones to keep me motivated. I will set small goals and see how I do, then I will adjust accordingly. Thanks for all the replies, you guys are great!

That actually sounds really cool! I will check it out! Thanks!

YES I know I too was eating way more than the calorie goal I have set now! OMG probably double the amount! I wish I would have logged a week of my previous eating habits to see just how much above I was. I am also working on the eating part for now and will start exercising more after I am more accustom to the lower…

I guess the reason I want set a goal is because it feels like I am accomplishing something, like checking something of a list, that and I really want to get another tattoo and I want to use that as an incentive. I am feeling pretty good about the calories and how my hunger level is. I haven't given up anything that I can't…

Hi! I'm new here and loving it ! Feel free to add me :)

Trying to do low carb but not being too restrictive. I guess I would say I'm just cutting back from what I did before which was very high carb, I live for Italian food. I know I feel a lot better just after 3 days of cutting back.

I don't have any to add yet...soon though! These are all so great, I could read these for days!

I don't have any suggestions for you as I just started my journey, but just wanted to say WOW great job on the 170 that's incredible!!

Hi! It's my millionth time too :) but this time is it! I am more dedicated than I was all the other times. There is tons of support here and for me that make a huge difference. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

You look fantastic! I like to watch tv and eat cheese too haha!

Hey there great job turning down Culvers...mmm ice cream. :) I'm newish here too just starting over 3 day in and feeling pretty good! I love all the support here!

This is what I struggle with too! I just ate and ate and ate because I was bored and food is so good! I am learning so much from all of you! I have never had this support and and input in previous attempts to lose weight I know it's going to be the difference this time. I have felt so encouraged here! I have always felt…

What should it be at? I have no idea I just put in how much I want to lose per week and it auto populates it I guess.

I changed my weight loss to .5 and it bumped my calories up to 1880! I feel like I can do that for sure! I think I will keep it there and see how things go. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT AND ADVICE!

Ok I made my diary public. Don't judge me too harshly, I don't have a ton of great options in the house.

Gaww...all the support!! Thank you Thank you! I will reevaluate my calories and make some changes. I know I couldn't possibly keep this up! How do I make my diary available to view? Thanks again for the support!

Thank you for all the replies! I am 5'4 230lb 40 yo. I set my goal to be 1.5 and my calories are at 1370. I have been trying to get protein in but I'm probably blowing it! I guess I am so used to eating whatever, whenever I want that it's a shock to my system. I haven't exercised yet, last time I tried my knees hurt and I…
