Can I Continue To Lose Weight

I joined this site a few months ago, I had NEVER paid any attention to how many calories I was taking in in a single day, but after using MFP for a couple weeks I realized just how many calories I was taking in and it shocked me! Since starting with MFP I have completely cut out my soda intake and am now drinking nothing but water and crystal light. I have ditched my easy daily afternoon snack of a candy bar or cookie from the cafeteria at work. I try to stay away from fast food as much as possible (can't always be done on days that you are constantly on the go) I havent really changed the way that I cook though. I still make pretty much the same meals that I always have (I have a picky eater at home who only likes certain things) but I try to add a vegatable with every meal where as before we wouldnt always have a vegatable. Our meals used to mainly be a meat, possibly fried, a potato, usually mashed, and a type of pasta. Now I will still make that same thing, except I will cook my meat on a george forman so its a litttle better for me, and I will add some type of vegie to it like green beans, carrots, or broccoli. I now measure out portion sizes and eat less to make sure that I keep within my calorie limit for the day and I dont let my self go over limit. My question is, is this enough to continue to lose weight or do you think that I will need to make more changes in the future to continue to lose the weight?

If you are eating as many calories as MFP is allowing you, you should be fine.
Great changes already.0 -
Sounds like you're making alot of positive differences. Focus on CONSISTENCY for now. If in a few months, you need to push yourself more, it'll be easier then. Worry about it when the time comes.0

Consistency and portion control are key -- do you workout?0

I have a gym membership and I like to say that I work out, in all actuality I only make it to the gym about once a week. I work as a nursing assistant at a hospital though so I am contantly up on my feet moving, I know that I should make myself get to the gym more I just cant motivate myself to do it.0 -
as long as you do exercises and eat only the calories calculated for you...water and exercise are the best for weight loss.:drinker:0
