20lbs down! Topic

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say hello and how happy I am to have found this app. I realized at just before Christmas (about 4 weeks ago) I had ballooned to 210 lbs. I started logging everything I ate and this made me very accountable about what I was putting into my body. I have an active job (normally burning 2000+ calories a day) so by making a big change in what I was eating, I have watched the pounds start to disappear. I honestly can't believe it's working! I have been doing it quietly (not yet telling family or friends) and yesterday my husband walked into the kitchen and said "have you lost weight?". I was excited as he has been the first person to notice. It scares me a bit that I could lose 20lbs and people can't tell but I am now only 10lbs away from my what it the upper end of my healthy BMI so that is my next goal. I am feeling less depressed, more energetic and happier. I feel a bit sad I didn't do this sooner but am glad I finally downloaded this app to kick start me into realizing how terribly I was eating. Food is defiantly an emotional soother for me. Being more in control of bad food binges is making me feel more in control of my life :)

Welcome Emmie, I'm an emotional eater too! Down about 16 pounds since January 1st, still a long way to go, but the App does work I agree. It is shocking when I look back at how bad my eating habits had become.

Yay! I am super excited for you. I too share the same story with you. I started on December 28th... WOW what a difference. I think the majority of it came from learning what an "actual" serving of food was. I spent a lot of years "guesstimating" what a serving was. My next step is to buy an actual food scale. right now, I think I spend too much time "guessing" how many ounces are in meats. I too am waiting on my 20# (right now I'm down 19.2lbs). Then to my next goal of 15lbs. Then I look forward to maintenance. I love this ap and am so grateful for giving it a try.
20lbs down!
