    Feel free to add or message me whenever. New to the site, two weeks into the diet, two months into the exercise routine.
    Something I learned was that it wasn't necessarily essential to eat low cal food, just remove the high calorie junk. I still eat bread, rice, cheese, etc. just smaller amounts.
    We're both eating the same calories, so this food triangle from Dummies might help you as well:
    6 bread items (bread, pasta, rice), 3-4 fruit-veg, 6oz. fish/meat, 2 dairy, oil and sweets sparingly.
    I find that counting the types of food helps almost as much as the calorie counting, because it helps plan meals.
    You're doing awesome btw. Make sure not to rush your body to avoid stretch marks and sag. Do light exercise 5 times. Just walk, it's enough. Up it gradually to adding in weights twice and hill walking three times per week.
