What's critically important mskimberlee, is for you to establish a moderate but not-too-aggressive calorie deficit, find a good macronutrient intake, and by the end of the day, hit it. Then do it again the next day, and keep going. Throw in some resistance training.

LOL Sidesteal, what is macronutrient? I'm a runner,(have been for years) and I swtich off with the eleptical some days, I don't do resistance training. I know! What are some good resistance training exercises?? Digging the jamies bahahahahaha..

Macronutrients are protein/carbs/fats. It's critical that you stay very near your calorie intake for the day, while hitting your targets for p/c/f.

As far as weight training goes, I'd recommend contacting a trainer at your gym to learn the basics. Lift heavy, hit macros, look secksy. Win.

Perfect! I will get on that gym membership! I have equipment at home, but I really wanted to try Zumba, and now heavy weights!

I would recommend using your hands, or silver ware.

OMG, LOL, now that's funny! I still have the giggles!

There's an underlying point that I didn't get to among my trolling, but I'll go ahead and say it here since my signature vanished and it used to be in there.

Don't complicate things. Don't bother eliminating half of the foods you like or trying this or that diet technique/etc. Don't worry about when to eat your carbs or if you can have a bedtime snack or whether you should count the sugar in your strawberry and cancel it out with the fiber in you shoe. Don't bother worrying about how often you eat or how frequently or whether you should set an alarm so that you can have a snack at blah blah BULLCRAP... It's all complicated *kitten* that you shouldn't bother with because it just doesn't matter (if you're diabetic, speak up).

Hit.
Your.
Calories.
And.
Macros.
By end of day.

Do this consistently and good things will happen especially if you lift and exercise a bit.. If you stall out or get stuck or have problems doing this, then you can look at slightly more fancy things but until then, don't make a mess out of something so simple.

Not easy, simple.

Eat enough to hit your calorie goal every day. If you work out, eat more. Choose fewer processed foods when possible.

It's that simple.

Try to eat foods with high nutrional value. Fresh fruit and veg, fresh meats etc. Wholemeal/Brown instead of White.
Note that I said try

Oh, and I recommend eating slower, smaller and more frequently.

My problem is not exercising!!! I love it! My problem is that I love to eat! I figure if I run 5 miles I can eat whatever I want, and I CAN'T!! So, I NEED willpower and this site!!!! Thank you!

Soooo true.

DON'T OVERCOMPLICATE IT!

Make a calorie deficit.

Hit your macro targets (Fat, protein, etc.)

Find some activity you enjoy that gets your heartrate up.

Lose weight get fit.

All these low carb/cut this/don't eat that/etc are simply means to the same end. Calories in < calories out.

I figure if I run 5 miles I can eat whatever I want, and I CAN'T!!

You can, and arguably should, eat enough to counteract those calories you burned, so you keep only a small deficit.
