Hi,

My name is Samantha. I am in the US Army. I had a baby almost 9 months ago and still fighting off the weight. I weigh 167 and the army wants me at 156 MAX. LOL. Personally I look pretty decent for them to be calling me overweight. But I have been doing low carb diet and I find it difficult to find food I can actually eat. So I want to move to low Calories. I do not know what kind of foods I can eat or cant eat. I need some help with this. Thanks so much.

    I just follow the calorie guide line that MFP has set for me with my goal, I also recently started drinking 3 cups of green tea a day (if you don't already know how it can help with weight loss you should totally look it up! also has great health benefits :)), since I've started really focusing on not going over my calorie goal my weight has just been going down, I weigh myself every morning right after I wake up as a way to motivate myself, I see the weight going down and I get excited, I have also stopped drinking anything with calories in it, most green tea has 0 calories, and I've replaced soda's with sparkling ice (it's a flavored sparkling water, it's really yummy!)
