Congratulations on your 15 lbs weight loss!

I’m super proud of you for getting started. Its a process, learning what healthy eating is to you at this stage of your life. So great that you take a first step.

The Stand

My current mini goal is to get out of the 150s and into the 140s. I just want all my clothes to fit right again and be comfortable in my own skin.

your calories burned are calculated using your heart reate. I use a fitbit that measures my heart rate throughout the day and tells me exactly how many calories I burned each day.

I always listen to audio books to go to sleep. Harry Potter is great. All libraries are connected to apps now and you can download the audio. I get up at 7 every morning. No sleeping in and no naps. Consistency is important. I go for a walk every day. I think being outside is important for our well being and so is…

I like soups like chicken tortilla or bean soup. They are light but filling.

Love your graphs. I am a business major as well, working in accounting. I am working on a daily 500 calorie deficit to lose one pound a week. I track my calories-in on myfitnesspal and my calories-out on my fitbit. I have an excel table with columns labeled weight, calculated weight, and projected weight. I'll probably add…

I would make sure that the area of the scale is large enough. Mine isn't that big and we have large plates. If I want to weigh something on the large plate, I can't see the display anymore..

I started reducing my calories about ten days ago and felt really sluggish. Someone suggested a vitamin b supplement on here. Since taking it I do feel better. I would try it, if I were you, and see if it does anything for you.

Wow, your weight loss looks consistent. I can even see a spike each month. Do you eat the same calorie amount every day?

I have tried intermittent fasting as well as more smaller meals. What works best for me is 4 meals a day. I prep bento boxes and just have to open one when it's time to eat. As suggested, I got a B vitamin supplement and will start using that in hope it gives me a little more energy. I also understand what you guys are…

Thank you for the replies. I started this diet about three weeks ago. During the week I would stick to my calories and on the weekends I wouldn't. Once the weekend was over, it was so hard to start over every time. Now I'm saying enough is enough and I am dieting through my weekends in hope that the saying is right: it is…

What are your go to foods?

I appreciate all the comments, however instead of getting suggestions I was hoping for stories on how everyone else is doing on their diet, whether they had more or less energy.

I am usually active with walks and hikes on the weekends and I used to lift for 20-30 min 4 or 5 times a week. Heavy weights. I never logged my activities and that's how I came up with 2300 a day with my usual activities. Now that I'm on 1800 calories I don't feel like hiking or lighting. Will I get used to the less…

Anything dry. I make my own trail mix. Granola bars, beef jerky. I also like to stop by aldi and make sandwiches using their pumpernickel and braunschweiger. Here in Florida it gets hot, so I bring salt sticks. I'll set an alarm for every half hour and take one stick and drink water. I also bring candy chews for a pick me…

I hope I can still join. Not sure I will get to 100 anymore but I can try. Using runtastic app and will be walking and biking.

When I quit coffee I didn't want to get off the couch for a few days. By the end of the first month I was a lot better. Now I really don't ever need caffeine anymore and it's been over a year.

The first days are always the worst. You just got to get through them. I figured my stomach had to shrink and only had 800 calories for the first two days. Then I upped the calories and enjoyed my smaller meals. I also ate every 2 hours at first. It really helped me with the hunger. Warm tea also helps and drinking lots of…

Enchiladas. Enough Said. Yum

I used to make breakfast almost every morning. I would bake waffles, pancakes or french toast. Now I mainly eat Oatmeal for breakfast. I think it fills me up better and is healthier. For lunch I eat warm and cold for dinner. I just made myself chili and portion it out. Then I'll eat the four portions over the next seven…

I have two little boys and a house to take care of. I don't work out on top of that. I truly believe that weight loss starts in the kitchen. Maybe I'll start working out at a later point but for right now my focus is solely on diet.

Count me in!

Don't know if this helps, but once I take iron supplements I seem unable to lose any more weight, sometimes even gain some. I use a multi vitamin with only a small amount of iron in it and that seems to work for me.

Depends on how much milk you are producing, you will need about 500 calories just for feeding your baby. A word of caution, drop your calorie intake slowly or you might not have enough milk. More rest and sleep helps with that though. Hope it was helpful.

I am 5'5" and turning 30 in November. I am a stay at home mom too. I just started and am at 170. I am so done being overweight. Sticking to a 1200kcal diet with no extra exercise yet besides being a mom. Would love to have a friend here or two.
