    That said, judging by the other threats you've started, I think your main problem is that you're just not willing to make the lifestyle change.

    I wasn't ready before, but I am starting to feel better about things now :)

    It took me months to get ready! Just make small changes at first.

    This! It doesn't happen overnight but small changes here and there will get you into a good routine.

    Everyone here is so helpful and lovely :)

    I am also sedentary. I ran out of calories all the time and was hungry most days or craved things. Restricting my calories failed me unfortunately. For my final attempt, I adjusted my calories to 1590 because I need to eat and I am ok with losing a pound a week or less. Good health is for the long haul. I prep meals. I eliminated a lot of rice, bread, cereal etc. and increased protein and vegetables along with a couple of tablesppons of quinoa. I eat eggs for breakfast most days. I do eat dark chocolate and nuts in the afternoon. I find that I am full end of day and have not gotten a bit close to the 1590. I believe the protein fills me up as well as the hearty veg (broc, cauliflower, spinach). I am not an expert but perhpas you should increase your protein in order to feel satiated? I have not lost a ton of weight, just 14 pounds since this January. Changing my thinking helped me. Good luck and I hope you find this bit of information useful.

    Alright, I've changed my food tracker so I only lose 0.5 kilogram a week. I'm a bit funny about it. I guess I'll eat what it says, and just eat half of my exercise calories back. I have so much weight to lose that hopefully I'll start losing weight a bit faster anyway. Once I know how to eat more food for less calories, I'll put it back on lose 1 kilogram a week.

    :)

    Can anyone tell me what the best low dense foods are?

    :) Low calorie foods include chicken and turkey breast, sirloin, shrimp, tofu, fish, eggs, broccoli, swiss chard, kale, spinach, romaine, cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus, avocados, okra, cauliflower, bell peppers, snow peas, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, brussels sprouts, cucumbers, green beans, winter squash, blue berries, strawberries.

    I personally don't think you need 2 pieces of bread. Maybe do 1 egg and 1 egg white and 1 piece of bread? Add some cheese for a lower calorie option with some fat.
