I was overweight for over 30 years so I see myself as similar to a recovering alcoholic, although i've been maintaining for about 18 months & often don't log for a week or 2 I still come back to log for a few days when I feel the need to focus on my intake; it really helps to have a proteins & fats target, that keeps the…

yum prunes?

yuk anchovies?

maybe naively but I think "you are what you eat"; when I set my original, and then second goal when I went through the first one I embarked on an intake level that I felt I could stick to forever, and my weight settled down and hasn't budged in a year. Oh, and I like the weight I'm at :) I'd eat at a deficit again if I…

I'm 55, I dropped 52lb when I was 53 having been overweight for 30 years so I'm afraid I don't accept that age is a factor, sorry. & btw, I did it with a simple 500 daily calorie deficit, lost 1lb a week for 52 weeks, & I can't agree more strongly with other opinion here, weighing your food on an electric scale is the only…

eggs, eggs, eggs, omelette with salmon or peppers, scrambled, boiled, poached, fantastic. alternatives; porridge with blueberries, or peanut butter on toast, losing the 10lbs is about a calorific deficit, so get weighing & logging, good luck :)

51lb 51 weeks, 500 cal daily deficit

yes, I think calorie counting works, i was overweight for 30 years +, started on here 2 1/2 years ago, ate a 500 calorie deficit, lost 51lb in 51 weeks. only 2 thoughts, - you gotta be honest about intake, & weigh Everything - this is a life change, not something you do for a little while to lose weight. good luck to…
