Woop we’ve made it to a new thread!! (Thank you to @fatcatthincat for keeping the other thread going when everyone disappeared for a while 😂)

This is a place for people who LOVE food and who want to lose weight in a sustainable and slow way, not restrict for ages and loose loads fast and then inevitably binge and put it all back on (like lots of us here used to!)

So enjoy your food, aim for a small calorie deficit and post your food pics if you like to keep accountable and also inspire everyone else for yummy meal ideas!

My stats- fairly active in terms of lots of walking dog, massive sweet tooth (so if you’re going for zero sugar look away now 😅😅😅) aiming for 1600-2000 cals a day although I’m not logging everything atm, height 5ft5, current weight 9st 3.2 after a very indulgent and relaxed and enjoyable food filled ‘birthday month’(/two months) and goal weight around 8st 7

Hi @Friedbanana!

I loved watching your previous thread and thought I would take the plunge and add to it.

I will say that you're already pretty slim, in my eyes. I'm 5'4" and weigh 10 stone! My ideal is where you are now, 9.3.

Anyways, I have spent the last few months, lowering my alcohol intake because I was drinking my calories and not eating enough food. I decided to eat more and I certainly ate a lot more but junk food! I've decided to join you this month because I'm turning 51 and it's time I stopped eating like a teenager. I won't get rid of it all but I will be reducing it. I don't believe in total restriction. My aim is to eat better.

I started yesterday, June 30th. I'll post photos at the end of my day. I live in the US so it will pop on here later during your days.

Anyways, I'm photographing everything food that has touched my lips. I won't add beverages, unless they are particularly calorific, but I always drink two cups of coffee, four 16oz of water, two herbal teas without sugar and one glass of juice, so I am well hydrated.

June 30
Breakfast: Sweet potato, Swiss chard, and red onion with a fried egg (and chipotle Cholula hot sauce), a 1/2 grapefruit with a touch of brown sugar, my vitamins and fruit punch that was in my fridge.

Lunch: A sad looking lunch but it was tastier than it looks. I was eating leftovers, as I needed to go to the grocery store so I was fridge diving. I had some pork chop and prawns to go with my very tasty salad. The salad had a selection of salad leaves, blueberries, carrots and pistachios and sunflower seeds with a mustard and tarragon dressing and a piece of bread. I'm was meant to make croutons with it but I was too lazy.

Calorific drink: Michelada is a Mexican drink for a hot day. It had Dos XX beer, tomato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. It's rimmed with a lime and chile salt. It's like a beer Bloody Mary. I had to finish off the remaining beer in the fridge.

Dinner: Baked Anaheim chile and corn macaroni and cheese, topped with fried onions. It's not the best photograph because I chose my favorite part of the dish which is the crunchy end. It was spicy, which I love, and very cheesy. I normally would have added another vegetable as a side like courgette but I wasn't feeling it.
