    You can eat sweets, I always have ice cream after my lunch and it doesn't hinder your weight loss, that is if it fits your macros

    Dont cut out all the stuff you love, just measure and weigh everything and keep it in your daily allowance.

    For example I aim for 500 cals per meal give or take which leaves me enough cals for the odd small chocolate bar if I want one.

    You can do it good luck.

    I lost all my weight and have kept it off for @ three yrs now. Here's what was important for my success-
    1. Realize that weight loss comes down to calories. Calories in - calories out. There's no need to torture yourself with fad diets or gimmicks . fads and gimmicks are not sustainable anyway so are no help for the long term and can often be dangerous.
    2. Remember that this is a lifestyle change. You need to make it as sustainable as possible! There's no reason to cut out all the foods you love . just learn how to incorporate them into your day. Learn portion control and moderation. Once you learn portion control and moderation, you will be able to eat the foods you love within your calorie budget .
    3. Be forgiving. Don't expect to be perfect! None all us stay within our calories all the time.

    You and me both! I need to lose 60. My diet lately has been grazing on everything at work. I'm a server/bartender and it's hard to avoid picking at stuff and eating mistakes. Add me as a friend and hopefully we can support each other.
