    That's a great goal....I just lost 40lbs from Apr 2014 - September 2014...so that goal is very realistic and completely attainable. So, one thing I do that tends to get a bit old, but if you make it a priority is to create a veggie platter for lunch/dinner every night in ADDITION to what you intend to eat.

    For instance at lunch I slice up 2 stalks of Celery, 1 large Bell Pepper, and 3 ounces of baby carrots and I eat that prior to eating anything else. I do something similar at dinner, but those are usually cooked veggies as I have more time to prepare. I do this even if I intend to go out for lunch as I eat them prior to leaving at my desk.

    Helps me to get FULL which keeps me from overeating or going over calories most of the time.

    Good Luck!
