    Thanks everyone! I think I just need to realize for me now is portion control. I can have the things that I want but just in moderation. I mean I eat tons of fruit and veggies. The thing I notice is starches I LOVE, but when I eat then I find myself not moving any where, so I am trying to cut breads, pasta and refined sugars to a minimum.

    Portion control is definitely a big part of it. Exercise is also great b/c you can earn extra calories so you have 'room' to enjoy some of those treats every now and then. :-)

    It took me 4-5 months to lose 50 lbs. I started at 270 and exercised daily. A lot of the exercise was just 30-60 minutes of walking. Every weekend was and is somewhat off for me. Sometimes (rarely but it does happen) I have a truly glutinous day and sometimes both Saturday and Sunday are more than I should be eating but not ridiculously so.
