    Hi Mike welcome to the MFP family. we do watch our calories but I find that I have learned what to stay away from as well. I have only lost 6 pound in the last 2 weeks but I feel like a new person. I am eating better and also eating things I did not care for before.
    Have fun on the journey and you can add me if you like My diary is open to my friends.

    Hi Mike
    I just join the website one week ago...I google me a 1200 cal plan and stuck with it. I weight in today which was my 7th day and I lost 15lbs. I've lost weight sooooooooooo many times I have stop counting, but I realize I need to change my eating habit for life. My down fall is sweets and man I love to cook them. So I suggest finding a diet plan and go for it...good luck :)

    thank you ...i think I have an idea, what works for me is Chicken, Fish and veggies and i cook them with out Oils ... so its low in fat and cals ...its just the cravings for awful food ...i guess its will power and allow for a once in a while cheat day ...lol

    I am having my struggles too. Trying to figure out the correct amount of calories to eat in order to lose. I have lost inches, so that is good, but am really trying to take off about 25 lbs. I should say 24, since I have lost one pound. Good luck finding what works for you and making it a lifelong change.

    I think a lot of it is learning portion control. You can eat what you like in moderation. Otherwise, you can't possibly keep it off after losing. And choosing healthier foods. It is all a learning process.
