    It just takes a little work on your part. My advice is educate yourself on healthy eating. Buy a food scale and watch portions. Limit processed and fast foods. Cook fresh Veggies and Meats. Eat whole grain Low carb Low Cal Breads and Pasta. Fresh Fruits. Did I say watch Portions. In the beginning it will be hard to get over cravings. But if you stick with it you will. Don't drink your calories. Did I say watch portions. Oh and watch portions.

    This site is really useful and you'll get loads of support from people in the same boat. Just start making friends (add me if you like!) and we'll keep you going!

    I'm struggling with losing weight. I eat so healthily and always have. I find it so frustrating to see what seems like the rest of my world eating what they like and staying slim! I am not counting my calories very strictly and trying to get motivated for exercise!

    Good luck! :drinker:

    Hello,I receny joined again this week.....it's been very helpful to track my calories and exercise and I realized I've been eating way too much! Portion control is probably my main problem so I'm trying to be more aware of that along w/ limiting carbs which is also another problem I have! Good luck!
