What's the first thing you cut out to help in weight loss

Typically I can go one of 2 ways, I can either exercise portion control and eat every 2 1/2 - 3 hours or I can do calorie control. Both have yielded results for me. But usually if I cut anything out its refined sugar and heavy carbs after the mid afternoon (roughly 3-5pm).0

Pop is really the only thing. I still drink it on occasion, but I was double fisting mountain dews at 8 am in the morning, and polishing off 2 liters in a weekend. Now it's maybe a can/glass a week or so. I don't really desire it anymore though.0

Soda. Then candy and most sweets. Never looked back.0

Soda 20 years ago and not cut anything, just the more I eat of it, the more I have to move my butt.0

I didn't cut out any food types really. I just watch my calorie intake.
I decided early on that I didn't like using my calories on small amounts of high calorie food that didn't help me to feel full or give me many nutrients for that amount of calories. I try to make sure I eat protein foods and choose things that are worth it to me.

Sitting!
Seriously, it's the bane of modern life. Get up! Grab a broom! Park three blocks away! Take your bike! MOVE!!0 -
I have not cut out anything. I have reduced drinks with calories in it (juice, pop, alcohol). I mainly drink water, occasional diet pop and rarely, an alcoholic beverage.0

Also, drinking my calories.
HA! YES! 100%0 -
I have recently rejoined MFP and I am being mindful of portion sizes. I cook most of my meals, so I know what goes in it.
Finding v difficult to control hunger after having over stretched my stomach for ages.
Hopefully my body/mind will learn soon.0 -
I just limited my intake of calories which means everything in moderation. However, I limited myself to one cup of coffee and measure out the coconut creamer and instead of eating an entire pastry, I have half the amount. And drink 64 oz of water daily!! I'm really counting calories and logging everything I eat which really helps realize how many calories a meal is.0

Definitely dairy products0

Chocolate and lager. Eating out. Now I enjoy the above as treats, not as a staple part of my diet.0

I really try to cut out unnecessary carbs, which I recommend, especially for borderline/current/recovering diabetics.
Also, there was one season in which I was ordered to cut out lunch, only eating breakfast and dinner. However, due to concentration needs, I regularly cheated on that rule and had to avoid dinner as a result. Sadly, that really ruined me because I was a student who couldn't concentrate on studying without that boost and I regularly got sick/fell asleep in class/tutoring without lunch, not to mention having to skip after school family time and do poorly on my homework if I slipped up and ate lunch, because we congregated around the dinner table and the meal/family time refreshed my brain. That was really sad and confusing, and not a lifestyle that I'd recommend or ever practice again unless my life depended on it.0 -
Refined grains...whole grains for me! Goes for pasta, cereal, bread, ect.0

Me either. Sometimes I look at them longingly at the store. Just can't have them. Need 3/4 of bag or nothing.0 -
