How to lose weight despite of eating healthier?

[tgeu]

Since I got my FitBit I have been more aware of what I am eating,  drinking more water and less soda.  I walk 5 to 6 miles a day.  My starting weight was 240lb.  Over a week to two weeks time I dropped to 233.3 lbs.  WHich was exciting, but I am now back to 238lb with a variance in my weight of .2 to .4 lbs.  I don't get it.  I have improved in all areas, but still have been unable to drop below 230 for the last 2 to 4 years.  But the heaviest I will get is 243.  Has been that way for the last 7 years.

Great job on your plan to get healthy.   Food intake is a bigger part of weight loss than exercise.    Eating  healthy does not equal eating few enough calories to lose weight any more than a low calorie diet is automatically healthy( you can eat 1000 calories of potato chips or of lean protein and veggies)   Get your food plan set first, 3 nutrient rich meals and planned snacks that have the correct amount of calories for you.   See a registered dietician if you cannot come up with a safe and healthy food plan.   Good luck

@tgeu it's nice to know the great results you've gotten! Please don't give up! As @BASILCHIVES mentioned, food intake can help you to use a Fitbit Food plan so you can continue achieving or maintain your weight goal. For more information, please check:
