calorie counting newbie saying hi

[Layla63]

Not a newbie to dieting but more so to calorie counting. Have been following SW for the last 30 years or more and still not got it right or got the willpower to follow it for any length of time. Did an online quiz to see if you are pre-diabetic or have diabetes and it showed me that if I don't do something soon I will be a diabetic and will end up with lots of co-morbidities. Retirement is not so far off in the distance and 60 is heading fast so have three goals; to get healthy, lose weight and enjoy life to the full instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me; which is never going to happen. Look forward to meeting some like minded people to help me achieve what I know I can.

Welcome to Minimins, Layla. Check out low carb diets - it's a good way to use your calories on protein and above the ground veggies/salads. Check out the keto thread. I don't count my calories but eat less as the protein is filling.

Come and join us on Team 50. It's a thread of people who wanted to shed 50lbs this year. Decide how much you want to lose by Chrstmas and then add yourself to the list, and weigh in each week on the day you choose. https://www.minimins.com/threads/team-50-is-back-christmas-2021.366615/page-24
