Woohoo. 3LBs down. That's motivating.
Last week I saved a bunch of 300 and 500 Cal recipes that sounded good and put them in a binder to pull from for meal planning. I tried planning ahead and following the plan but some days didn't work out as planned. Still, I was watching (or thinking over) the foods I was eating and feel like I did pretty well for a first week. The new recipes were fun and even my husband and two kids liked some.
(We are all adults here so generally fend for ourselves but I like to share -sometimes.) Planning does take more time than I thought and can be a hassle sometimes but when I don't plan, I slip more.
SO, PLANNING IS KEY! (at least until eating right becomes second nature)

The other thing I noticed is that I struggle with snacking more the later I stay up (and my will power to resist my favorite treats weakens dramatically), so that is a bit more motivation to get to bed earlier than I have been. I'm trying to establish a consistent routine for sleeping which will (hopefully) help me be more productive and routined during the day.

I am starting over here for my own records. I'm only tracking food here because it's easy to find the calorie info on the foods I eat and add that info to my personal recipes for Cal counting.
I keep record of my exercise, sleep and meal planning on my own charts. I do better writing things down and hanging them where I see them daily. (Apps are too easy to ignore). Besides, this is a complete lifestyle change for me <deep breath> and FS doesn't track or provide help for other aspects of my lifestyle (such as time management and routines).

I'll update wt stats and report any neat tricks or info I discover in my experience (for anyone curious or watching).

btw, this isn't a current picture but I haven't changed much. Maybe added another 10 lbs. Hopefully within the year, I can upload a better view.
