Hello, I am a newbie here. I decided in early April that I would stop eating fast food and to this point, I have. I began to eat oatmeal with a smidgen of browns sugar or berries EVERY morning and I can tell you the brown sugar is far better than McDonalds morning grease! For lunch, I eat cottage cheese with a fruit cup/piece of fruit or a small salad EVERY day and for dinner I eat whatever we normally cooked but eat a small portion, avoid bread, and eat more vegetables than carbs, then nothing else the rest of the night. Since April I have lost 18 pounds with minimal exercise as I have neuropathy and I broke my leg near the ankle in September of 2020 so I cannot do strenuous exercise. I do play frisbee golf on occasion and keep busy in the yard and such. I also gave up soda and drink water in its place! My goal is to lose 50 additional pounds by next April and I know I can achieve that goal by sticking to my routine. I can tell you it's very hard at first to pass on office goodies at work and at home but I just try to focus on how better I am and will feel by losing this weight. I will be 51 next month and the older you get, the harder it is to lose. Good luck all!
