I have been on CICO, no alcohol, low carb, walking, youtube workouts and resistance bands since July 30th. So far I've lost 13 pounds!
I used a TDEE calculator to figure out roughly how many calories I burn just by being alive, then I aim for eating about 300 to 500 below that. It's been working out really well.
I eat tons of veggies, salads, salmon, scallops, chicken/chicken/chicken (I love chicken!). Occasionally I will have a small scoop of mashed potatoes, but I'm really trying to limit the amount of carbs I eat.
In the beginning, I was looking EVERYTHING up on my phone. I don't have enough memory left on my phone to download a food-tracking app, so I just keep a food diary. I mostly use nutritionix.com to look up calories and nutritional info. It has a huge list of common foods.
So my NSV today is I realized that I didn't have to look up calories as I was writing in my food diary. I already had them memorized! I think this shows a lot of progress towards being educated about nutritional values and portion sizes.
I'm hope to lose about 13 more pounds, maybe less. I'm adding weights to my routine and may gain weight due to muscle.
Good luck to everyone out there! Hope everything is going well with your weight loss journey. 😊
