I want to say hello to all the community. I am over weight, and would love to loss some of that weight. This is all new to me, so I don't know how it works

[nes2124]

I believe I just posted my first post. Not sure. Help

[William Wallace]

You sure did make your first post, welcome! What we here is teach people how to lose weight naturally through counting calories, better eating overall, and exercise! Let us know if you would like us to show you how!

I'm 5' 2" and two hundred, thirty two pound the last I got weighed. I'm tied.

Thank You, William Wallace

We also would need to know what sex you are and how often you exercise. From there we can help you figure out how many calories you burn each day and what you need to eat to lose weight!

[nes2124]

I am a female and I don't exercise as of yet. I would like to get down to 135.

This is an easy one. You are burning right around 2000 calories a day based on your stats. In order to lose 2lbs a week on average, you'll need to cut your calorie intake down to 1000 calories a day on average. In order to lose 1.5 lbs a week you'll want to eat 1250 calories a day on average, and for 1lb a week you'll want to eat 1500 calories a day on average. It's that easy, just gotta start writing down the calories you eat! Now there are many other tips/tricks in this topic too....this should get you started!

I'll start counting calories. 1000 calories is not very much. It's a terrific idea. So, far I have eaten 6 pieces of toast, 2 bowls of cereal. It is 7:10 pm eastern time.

[Chrisydj]

how come you are only eating bread and cereal? where are the veggies and fruit?

[nes2124]

I'm bad on eat my fruit and veggies. Something I got to change. I just made a mac. saland with veggies in it. I'll have that tomorrow.

Im like you faye I eat mostly bread and meat and not veggies I know its bad but veggies are so not good tasting yuck and when your counting calroies its even harder cause you get to only eat so much and you dont want to eat something you dislike.

[nes2124]

It's something I got to get use to. I made a house saland tonight. That's all I'm going to have tonight if I get hungry. Since, 4:00 pm (eastern time) I had a bowl of cereal with 2 piece of toast. ha tomorrow I going to have one piece of toast and cut down on the sugar I put in my cereal. It going to storm here (Florida) so, I'm loging off.

[Chrisydj]

most veggies if prepared properly have less calories than the breads and meat and pasta that you eat so you can eat more of it and get less calories. and if you have the mindset that they are going to be yucky then they probably will be you've got to try and keep a positive mindset.

[nes2124]

Yes, I got to keep on tring though veg. Can't sleep feel like a bowl of cereal. Not going to have one though. I see you lost 46 pounds. Good job. I get weighed in 8 days. Hoping for the best.

I do go in with a positive mindset, but when you cant pound on the butter or cheese its gross. I tried green beans and I gagged from the shock of the flavor. Ive always liked green beans but not without salt and butter. I know there less calories and more filling but blah. A reese cup is 80 calories and a can of green beans is 70. I should eat the green beans but id rather down a gallon of water and eat the reese. I cant help it.

Potatoes make gag sometimes. Why not put a little butter on your veg. Try using smart balance. You lost 40 pounds thats great. chocolate is one of my down falls. I don't do my shopping so I don't get a lot of chocolate. I don't leave the house to often. Just to Doctor offices. My belly is making noisces. I haven't heard that sound in a long time. To me thats means I'm eating right. Small amounts. It's 6:20 am to early to eat I think I'll go get a glass of water. I'm cutting back on my bread in take, so that should help me

[Violent]

yeah my stomich has been making noises too.

[nes2124]

Didn't let my stomach growl today. But, I know it will tonight, because I'm done eating for one day. Got on my stepper today felt it in my legs. This is good.

Cutting carbs in general is a good thing, especially bad carbs like white breads. You should try to get out of your house; when you sit around it's sooo easy to start eating extra, plus you're not burning calories!!!
