Hello,
This is the first time I have tried to lose weight. So far I have been fairly succesful. It's tough staying below the daily calorie goal. Seems like I am hungry all of the time. My goal is to get to 185. Currently I am at 208.

    Try more filling foods. More fibre and protein. If you are sticking to calories and not changing what you are eating, then you will be hungry.

    When I started out, I ate a lot of fibre 1 bare and 100 calorie snack food. I finally figured out that fresh fruit and veggies stay with me longer. Stick with it! You can do it:flowerforyou:

    Starting at the end of March I started watching what I was eating. I was mostly looking at the fat and cholesterol content at that point. It wasn't until I signed up here that I started looking at the whole nutrition picture. Basically, I have reduced portion size, sticking with the reccomended portion instead of eating until I was full. I am eating much healthier foods, low fat, whole grain etc.. I have cut out most of the bad things I was eating. I was drinking 6 or more soda's a day, eating a lot of my favorite snack food (cheese), and only eating twice a day. I now eat 3 meals a day with snacks, fruit or vegetables. And finally, light exercise.
