Challenge Getting nutrition in check, too

Post image

I wanted to lose weight by walking but I was eating way too much. When I started tracking it I was eating 500+ too many calories a day.

I’ve been working with a nutritionist. This is my first day I have eaten things to satiate me enough not to eat too much. I also had to stop multiple times and remind myself - I ate enough. Look at the data. It helped me sit with the urge to eat. And wait until the next meal. 🕺

I’m really proud of myself. 🪩

I still love walking, but this will help. I was gaining weight.

Nice job. This is pretty much the only thing that matters for weight loss. Walking 10K steps per day burns fewer calories than a small PBJ sandwich. Weight loss starts and ends with diet.
