Congrats on starting down this path. I recommend starting slow. Start by logging and getting used to measuring food. Try to stay under your calorie limit but give yourself a bit of a learning time. Pay attention to what helps you feel full. Pay attention to how you do best spreading meals out. Get some movement in. Then…

You started. So that is NOT terrible. And you figured out a way to improve an area you felt needed to be better. I started just by logging and being honest with my logging. I have learned more along the way. But the point is - you started. So well done and keep learning/adjusting/working toward your goals.

Start by logging. Honestly and everything. Try to stay under your calories but use the first few weeks to learn. Pay attention. What foods are higher in calories than you realized? Lower? What macros help you stay feeling full? Try to get a little movement in. Adjust as you go. You don’t have to have an ultimate plan right…

I have 😀 I have found my cheekbones. They are no longer hidden. I have found my posture is improving thanks to losing weight and core exercises. I am finding my “style” again. I needed a few shirts for work and Instead of just finding one that fits and isn’t horrible I was actually able to look for (and find) some I LIKE.…

You have received good advice above. I just want to add that you don’t have to have it all figured out as you begin. Don’t overcomplicate things. Doing something is better than doing nothing. Tweak as you go. I think for some (and definitely me in the past) we think we have to have a great plan and follow it flawlessly.…

I didn’t realize I lacked energy and felt crummy until I stopped feeling crummy. But I have noticed a big difference. And I never want to go back.

My answer was originally only those in my household. But now I have lost enough for people to notice and some have asked. I try to keep my response very brief. Maybe a quick Thank you with a “I am trying to improve my health”.

I am upset that I let myself get to where I did. But we can’t change that. Congrats on getting to the point where you are ready to do something about it. The future you will thank you. My advice is to make small changes that you can keep going indefinitely. I never had long term success with a “diet”. Good luck.

If you question it then why have it? I decided since I had doubts about it (not weight related but other health concerns) then I should cut it out. I quit drinking Diet Coke almost 3 months ago. I think it made my hungrier. I have made a few other changes so it’s hard to pin it on that specifically, though. Now I don’t…

I agree that you have to think bigger picture. I weigh daily but I watch the overall trend and not the individual days. I do the same with food. I try to make each day count. But I don’t let it get to me if I have a day where I go over on my calories. As long as it doesn’t happen often.
